The Board invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons and daughters at Kaharoa School for Term 3 2020. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office. The enrolment period runs from 4 July 2020 to 25 September 2020. The Board has determined a limited number of places are likely, at some year levels, to be available for out of zone students in this enrolment period. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

We would like to share some work by Lucy Barker in Room Totara.

A new after-school opportunity for Kaharoa School students - online speech and drama lessons from a husband-and-wife-owned speech and drama school called Head Held High (HHH) whose teachers are a mixture of actors (from Shortland Street, The Hobbit, Avatar, etc), and qualified teachers (either school teachers or Trinity College of London). Apart from being awesome at what they do, their teachers are just great people and so much fun for their students!
