Special thanks to Tania Edwards from NISS for thinking of us and to Coats for Kids for their kind donation.
Kaikohe East School Board of Trustees
The Kaikohe East School Board met today, 5th July. Go to the school website www.kaikeast.school.nz
for the agenda and associated reports.
Rheumatic Fever
There has been an increase in the number of new Rheumatic Fever cases diagnosed in Northland this year. We encourage a throat swab if your child complains of a sore throat. This can be done at School or at the doctors.
A positive throat swab means that your child has the Strep A bug. Once they have taken the 10 day antibiotic course this will clear and prevent it invading the body further and developing Rheumatic Fever.
Hockey & Netball
There is no hockey or netball this weekend, have a lovely relaxing holiday.
