I would like to take a moment to extend our warmest wishes to all of our school community who observe this special occasion. For our Muslim students and families, Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude, self-discipline and community building.
During this month, Muslims around the world abstain from food and drink from dawn until dusk, and engage in acts of generosity and charity, as Muslims are encouraged to give to those in need.
As a very multicultural school, this is also a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the diversity that exists within our Hokowhitu School community, to learn from one another, to share our traditions, and to deepen our understanding of the world around us. Ramadan Mubarak!
