Kia ora, e te whānau! We all want our school and community to be a safe place for our tamariki. But in a rapidly changing digital world, the risks our children face online are growing faster, more frequently, and more seriously than ever before. That’s why we are bringing filmmaker, author, and speaker Rob Cope—producer of the powerful documentary Our Kids Online—to Rotorua for a fast-paced, humorous, and eye-opening presentation you cannot afford to miss!

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.
