Glen Massey is a Grade U3 Decile 5 five classroom school in a village setting situated 9 kilometers from Ngaruawahia. The roll tends to fluctuate around the 100- 105 children mark from about 70 families, 60% of whom are identified as European and 40% as Maori.
There are six teachers, including a deputy principal and principal. In addition there is a part time teacher for students with special needs and abilities. There is a Reading Recovery programme and two teacher aides to support special needs students. A school secretary manages the school office each day, with a cleaner keeping the rooms neat and tidy.
The main building complex has 2 classrooms, office/administration areas, staffroom, toilets, sickbay and storage rooms. In 1993 the Board of Trustees built a fourth classroom which in 2008 was turned into our new school library. During 1997 a new classroom , was built at the back of the school. A resource room was moved onto the site in early 2003. The new administration area was completed in 2005 and in 2008 the new library was created along with a multi-purpose e-learning room. 2011 sees an additional classroom added to the rear of the library.
There is a hall on the site which is also used for After School Care, two outside storage sheds, an adventure playground, tennis court and a swimming pool, as well as a large playing field. The local play group has a designated area beside the hall for their use. The school grounds are landscaped with attractive trees and shrubs.

FYI - the draw for tomorrows Waka kopapa races has been changed. There are now only 4 lanes which means more races and a longer day. This means we will now not be finished in time for the afternoon bus run.
If you are able to collect your child from the river (down by the barge), please do so at approx 3:30pm. Otherwise children will be returned to school for afterschool care/pick up at approx 3:45/4pm.
The school bus will run at normal times tomorrow afternoon. If any waka students need dropping off on the bus, this can be arranged but will be after the normal bus runs. Please let the office know if this is the case for your child.

The waka kopapa racing has been postponed until Tuesday due to the weather. Tuesday will operate in the same way - students can meet at the river at 9am by the school gazebo or can come to school before 8.45am and be transported on the bus. If you have any questions about this, please let us know. If you child is participating in this and you did not receive a note home from Rodney yesterday, please let me know asap.
Our school newsletter will be coming out tomorrow, not today, due to many unexpected events!
