Kia ora whānau,

Just as a reminder teachers, principals, and support staff have voted to take strike action next week on Thursday, 23rd of October.

This morning the school received formal notification from the union that the strike is going ahead. The board is currently working through the options available to us, and we will confirm the outcome and details with you once these are confirmed.

Please be prepared to keep your child(ren) home on that day as we may not be able to provide supervision and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Unions are currently only required to provide three days notice of a strike, so the short offical notice period is outside of our control. 

We do appreciate your support of our staff as they negotiate for improvements to their working terms and conditions, especially in regards to the support available for our students’ learning.

Ngā mihi,

Matthew Jackson (on behalf of the Kaimai School Board)

Kia ora whānau,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Loud Shirt Day! Students are encouraged to wear their 'loudest' shirt to school!

Loud Shirt Day is held to raise funds and awareness for children and adults with hearing loss and cochlear implants. The event is part of the national campaign for The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Programme.

A gold coin donation would be much appreciated for this great cause.

Kia ora whānau

Hello and welcome back to term 4.   It is great to be back in class and settling into routine.   Last week was wonderful, we spent most of the time getting prepared for Ag dsy which was on Saturday. Sorry for the late communication, however technical issues have now been rectified and it's all go.

Up and coming is athletics which is to be held on Thursday 30 October starting at 9.30am.  Come along and support your akōnga.  It is intended to be a fun event for our junior students.

All assessment has been completed so math and rrding groups are now sorted and ready to go.   Student's bookbags must come to school each day and there will be some home activities to do each night .  

School library visits are on Monday afternoons.  Your child is able to bring home 2 books for the week.  They will not be able to bring home any books if they have overdue books.  If your child has sny books at home that are overdue now, please retun them now or an invoice wull be issued for the replacement of the books.

I'm looking forward to seeing all through the term.

Nga mihi nui
