Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive

A special welcome to Tom, Pippa and their families to Kaikorai School - we are so happy you are here.

What a fantastic night last night! It was so fabulous to see so many of our new families connecting with each other, children playing, and everyone enjoying some kai. That's what community is all about! Thank you all for making time in your busy Thursday schedules to be there. I know many of you had to juggle touch rugby, swimming lessons, gymnastics, etc., so I appreciate you making it work.

I hope you found your child's teacher meeting helpful. If you weren't able to make it, the teachers will be sharing their presentations on Seesaw next week.

Whānau-teacher learning conversations are scheduled for March 18 and 19. This is the opportunity for you to have a 10-minute conversation with your child's teacher about their learning goals and progress and how they have started the year and settled in. Bookings will open in a few weeks, and we will notify you of this in an upcoming newsletter.

A huge thank you to all of our parent helpers at swimming this week, the coaches of our summer sports teams, Michelle from the Parents' Group, and Rachael and Katie from the School Board for their help with the BBQ last night. We simply cannot do what we do without your support!
