An overview of the 2026 Term Dates are below for your information. Please also check the website calendar and our newsletters for upcoming events or any changes.

We have attached here the High School Transition event information we have for the local high schools. Please note that if your child attends an Open Day or Orientation Day which means they will be away from Kaharoa School on that day, parents/caregivers will need to arrange transport and inform the Kaharoa office they will be attending using the school app or phone the office. We will code this as an educational trip not an absence. The only day-event that will differ from this is the Western Heights High School Open Day which will be arranged as a Year 8 visit from Kaharoa, with bus transport provided.
