Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata whakamaua ka tina | Seek out distant horizons and cherish those you attain.
Welcome to Hattie in Rūma waru. We are happy you are part of the Kaikorai whānau.
As you know, I spent 3 days at the NZPF Conference, surrounded by inspiring leaders; we engaged in kōrero about our kura, our ākonga and our aspirations for our communities. It is clear to see that the tumuaki I talked with all have their children at the heart of the decision-making, as we do at Kaikorai. We all have similar challenges with resourcing - staffing, funding for learning support, and class sizes, and we do our best for our kura.
At the gate today, on my return, numerous children asked me the question, "How was your big principal's meeting?" That sums up what caring and kind children we have at Kaikorai Primary School. It is certainly a school I am very proud to be leading.
