Our current school-wide focus is Stewardship / Kaitiakitanga... A kaitiaki is a guardian, and the process and practices of protecting and looking after the environment. This is an important aspect of our school which we have chosen to put in the spotlight for 2024. We have high expectations for how our students, staff, and community access and care for our resources which need to last and will be used by many students over time. We are proud of our unique space and hard earned resources. When we look after things they last longer, we have better tools, and we can enjoy what we have. We can’t get the new stuff we hope for if we have to replace stuff we already have before the end of its expected life. [Read More...]

Our aim is to send home each major event as a separate email with the information that you need. This makes it easy to search back for an event. Unfortunately at busy times of the year, this can mean you get a number of emails all at once! To support this, we email home a ‘Kaharoa Snapshot’ regularly that gives details of what is happening at school and lists the email information that has been sent. Below you will find a Kaharoa School Snapshot that will help you with the start of the year organisation for your child/ren! The staff are looking forward to seeing you next week. Please make it a priority to attend the Whānau Picnic on 31 January if at all possible. The Kaharoa School Team
