Staffing news
At the end of Week 8, we will be saying goodbye to Hannah in the office as she transitions back into the insurance industry. We will miss Hannah's calm approach and would like to thank her for her care and dedication in managing the front of the school so smoothly.
We welcome Mrs Samantha Ker-Fox to the front office. You will see her from next week before she starts in September.
At the end of this term, we will be saying goodbye to Mr. Mark Pickering. Mark has been a valued member of the Kaikorai team for the past 5 years, bringing plenty of laughs and fun along the way. Mark is venturing out of the classroom and teaching and will be working for Tūturu.
Miss Hannah Jones will teach Room 12 for term 4, and the Kaikorai School Board will advertise and appoint for 2025.
