I hope your child has had a settled return to school this term. Welcome Eli, Ruby, Hazel and Charlotte to Kaikorai School. We are thrilled you are here!
We are thrilled that winter sports are up and running - thank you so much to our coaches who are giving up their afternoons to coach our little sports stars! We appreciate you. ⭐
The middle crew are well and truly settled in their new space and are learning how to work in a collaborative environment. If you have not yet had a look around our new classes, please pop in if you would like to check them out!
Staffing news
Emma Riley will be going on maternity leave in week 6. We are happy to announce we have secured Nicole Wilson to take over the teaching of Rūma ono while Emma enjoys time at home with her new baby.
Covid-19
Covid is still very prevalent in our school community. We have 2 teachers away and a number of children have tested positive too. We will continue to inform you if there is a positive case in your child's class. Please encourage your child to wear a mask when they are in class.
Property update
There is some more asbestos removal happening over the weekend. Please read the attachment from Naylor Love below. Once that has been completed, the demolition of the kitchen, middles block and sheds will occur. At this stage, we are looking at the 23rd of May for the demolition.
