Beach Picnic

Welcome back!

We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday the 2nd...bright eyed and bushy
tailed. School starts at 9am on Tuesday morning and we will be swimming from day one, so make sure children have their togs. Please make sure children come along with their stationery on day one so classes can get started straight away.

2016 is going to be another great year! This year we will have a strong emphasis on empathy and working further on the development of citizenship. Looking at what citizenship is and how everyone can work towards being a 'good citizen.'

We are particularly proud to be part of the KIVA anti-bullying programme. This programme focuses on the bystander, developing empathy for others and encouraging children to understand what bullying is and stand up against it. We feel it will be a great asset to our school and really fit well with our current programmes. We approached the organisers of this programme at the end of 2015 to be part of this fantastic programme. We will be the first school in Northland and only one of six in New Zealand running the programme. There is a significant cost to the school, but we feel it will be very worth it. More information can be found at http://www.kivaprogram.net/nz. We will be running an information evening later on in the term after key staff have finished their training. This is a community approach and we look forward to working with you to make school a happier place for everyone!

End of Year

What a lovely evening we had for prize giving...so brilliant to be able to celebrate  the success of our children and school outside in the fine weather.

We have an amazing school and a fantastic, dedicated staff who go above and beyond, thank you for all of your hard work this year.

Thank you to all of our community for your support this year...we appreciate it!

School will start back for children on Tuesday the 2nd of February.

The office will be open from the 25th of January.

If you need to contact us between these times it is best to email me at:

principal@kaurihohoreschool.co.nz and I will endeavour to get back to you when I can over my holiday break.

Stationery can be purchased any time from now on at Office Max.  Online is a great way to purchase stationery, and it is very easy.  Just go to this link and search our school.  This is then delivered to your door without any hassle at all.  Purchasing through Office Max also helps the school out financially...every small bit counts.

Once again thank you for all of your support this year.  I am truly grateful to work in an amazing school with an active, supportive community.  Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.

Stay safe

Prize giving Tonight

This will start at 6.30pm.  Please bring picnic blankets or outdoor seating as we will be holding it behind the admin area.  Fingers and toes crossed for fine weather...:)

Pool Opening and Festival of Learning

This Friday (the 11th) at 1.30pm we will be having a school wide festival of learning.  Each class will perform one or two items.  We will be holding this outside behind the admin area, so bring your seats and picnic blankets.  If it is wet this part of the day will have to be cancelled.

Following this we will officially open our new pool.  We think this will be around 2.15pm, but can not be sure of this time.  Please come along and share this special occasion with us.
