An IMPORTANT request for help and support from ALL Kaharoa School parents. As some of you may already be aware we have a pupil at school who quietly and strongly copes with Systemic chronic juvenile arthritis. This young man gets fully involved in our school life despite often being in pain, while at the same time showing great resilience and character. He is currently receiving treatment and this is where we need your help.

This takes place on each alternate Monday afternoon and is taken by an interdenominational group, who have been approved by your school Board of Trustees. This group runs a fun and interactive programme called ‘Go Bananas’

If your child/ren are on the buses and they leave early or is picked up from school, please remember to mark them off the bus lists. There are a number of children not being marked off and when the bus monitors call out the roll, we do not know where these children are. This causes unnecessary time trying to find the children which results in the buses running late.
