A special thank you from the staff and students of Kaharoa School to Grant & Crystal Plummer from Four Square, for their ongoing support of our school. We greatly appreciate the special support the school receives from Four Square and encourage parents to use their store at every possible convenience.
Congratulations to the PTA for organising such a positive community-focused event in the Hamurana Flyer last weekend…
Reminder: We have a policy of no sweets or chocolates at school - this is also in line with our healthy eating guidelines and only to be had as occasional treats. Although Christmas candy canes and lollies are around at this time of the year they are not to be eaten at school. However we will allow these special treats to be eaten during the last week of term.
Congratulations to the following past pupils for winning these awards:
A huge congratulations to Leo English who has been breaking records in his swimming!

Thank you to the Ngati Whakaue Endowment Grant for the grant of $13,000 to ‘boost our oral literacy in reading and writing’. This grant enables us to purchase the Quick60 Alphabet books and the Factual texts Set 2 (we bought Set 1 this year), storage for these sets and employ a teacher aide to run these programmes next year. We are also able to purchase sets of Lego for our Bricks Club. We are beyond grateful for this grant and the benefits it will bring for our tamariki.
Congratulations to Amy Brunt, Gemma Brunt and Sam Gifford…
Congratulations to Damon Cowie for achieving Dux at WHHS. Damon has carried on a proud tradition for Kaharoa School with past pupils now having achieved 6 Dux Awards, 3 Proximae Accessit, 4 Head Girls, 2 Head Boys and 3 Deputy Head Boys since 2006. Congratulations also to Annelyse Cowie winning the Sportswoman of the Year Award at the WHHS co-curricular prize giving. An amazing achievement for someone who is only Year 11.
Well done to the children for participating in a winter sport for Term 2 & 3. The Winter Sports Prizegiving was held during our Friday morning Assembly on 25 October. Again a big thanks to the parents and caregivers who volunteered their time to coach and manage these teams - it is very much appreciated by all!
Thank you very much to Guy and Caroline Hartley for the donation of Dylan Hartley’s U19 2004 English Jersey, put up for auction to raise money for the PTA. Dylan is a past pupil of Kaharoa School.
Well done to all the children who took part in this years Lamb, Chicken and Kid Day. Here are the results from the School competition with some pictures of our trophy winners and from Group Day.

I was immensely proud of our choir children yesterday at the Big Sing Competition at Southwell School in Hamilton. The children competed against 18 other choirs winning a Silver Award and were awarded the Best Impact Award. An outstanding result for a choir who have only been practising for a term.
Congratulations to Riley, who has been selected for the Lakeland rep team to compete in the Northern Districts Primary Boys Tournament next month. This is a year 7-8 team picked from the Eastern Bay and Taupo. Fabulous news and well done, Riley!
