On Wednesday, 04 September, the PTA is running Kids Book Day alongside this year’s Market Day. A fun day to dress up as your favourite book character and purchase a pre-loved book at their stall. We would like to encourage all families to look through their book collections at home and donate one or two good quality books to this occasion. What’s no longer being read in one family, can be new and surprising for another. The proceeds of selling those will go towards the PTA’s current fundraising projects. A box for your much appreciated donations will be set up in the school office for collection.

Watch the Rugby World Cup Live!! Join the Kaharoa audience in our Kokako Centre on Saturday, 21 September, where you can watch three games LIVE on the big screen! Another great fundraising initiative of our PTA that is at the same time a great way to meet other school parents and members of the Kaharoa community,

Well done to Ty Jackson, Kobe Stranks-Rose, Hunter Weaver and Fletcher Sefton for winning for Ngongotaha the U12 final. All played well in a fast-paced game with lots of ball being distributed out to the wings from a strong forward effort. The play of the game was a pass on his 10-metre mark, just after half time, from Ty down the blindside to his wing who used his pace to score. Congratulations also to Rome Beazley whose U9 team won their final.

The teachers and support staff of Kaharoa School are joining their colleagues all over the country on Friday, 9 August, to call on the government to give primary and intermediate principals a fair deal. And we need your support as we stand up for our principal, and all principals! Teachers recently won pay parity with their secondary colleagues, because a teacher is a teacher regardless of the age of their students. But the government refused to give primary and intermediate principals parity with principals of comparably sized secondary schools, or any support for growing workloads. In small schools, principals are doing a complex job but often without any extra support and while...
