A message for our parents

ANI school is here to support the development of your children.

We do all we can to teach our students to develop their skills and be prepared for life, prepared for the future.

With this in mind, we value and appreciate the parents' support. Students' whānau is an important part of ANI culture and values.

We need your support in order to construct a better school, a better Sports program, and an enjoyable process for your children.

Please remember that we are all here with the same aim, to deliver the best for your children, which includes wins, draws, and losses.

Have fun with them, independently of the results.

Sports-PRO GOALS

" Our goals by the end of 2022 are: 1) To have more students participating in all types of sports; 2) To deliver an organised and planned sports development program for all our students; 3) To achieve higher levels of engagement and enjoyment.

"We DO NOT intend to specialise our students in their early ages of school, but prepare them to love sports longer and enjoy what sports can deliver at that age." [Mr Carlos]

ANI Sports-PRO have our theme for each current year. For our first year we have chosen the following message:

"Win is great. Enjoying playing is greater!"
