 Weekly Notices, Week 8 Term 4

December 5th, 2021

Kia Ora,

Christmas music is playing and the decorations are up, Christmas is only 20 days away which also means that our school year is just about complete.

This is the last full week of school and there are a lot of activities.

Please remember children's $2 koha tomorrow for our fish and chips lunch.


Library books are to come back to school this week if you still have some at home, please.

We are publishing a school magazine again this year, and this will be available during the last week of this term. At this stage, there are only to be 100 magazines printed. It will be a great memento of 2021. Orders are being taken now with the cost for the magazine being $10.00.

Kahikatea's Big Day In

Monday 6th December is our Kahikatea Big Day In. This is a fun day of celebrations as we approach the end of the year. We have a range of fun-filled activities planned. If it is raining we will still be going ahead with the day.


The children can wear mufti and will need to bring in their computers, togs, a towel, sunhat, sunscreen and a drink bottle of water. Children are allowed to bring labelled water guns for the water fight.  NO WATER Balloons. 

Please ensure all items are named (togs, towels, water guns etc.)


We would like to have hot chips for a morning tea picnic and would appreciate a $2 koha contribution. Children will still need to bring their own lunch.


Unfortunately due to restrictions, we are not permitted to have the usual celebrations of learning with our parents. 


This is the advice from the Ministry:

Schools will retain their existing COVID-19 settings until the end of the 2021 calendar year, although we recommend that schools in red areas encourage mask-wearing for staff and students in years 4 and above. The COVID-19 Protection Framework settings will come into effect for all schools from 1 January 2022.

The wearing of masks for our students and staff, while we are at Red Level, is not mandated until next year. Fingers crossed Rotorua will be in Orange by then and we won’t need to wear masks. We will continue to insist every student sanitises when they enter the school gate/classroom and any other teaching space in the school. All parents coming onsite during school time (8.30am-3pm) MUST report to the School Office and wear a mask, please.
