School Closed for Queen’s Birthday
A reminder to whānau that school will be closed on Monday 4th June due to Queen’s Birthday.
Whānau Survey 2018
We want to show whānau that we have thought about your ideas in terms of improvements we can make. So this week we are replying (in blue) to comments on the following from Whānau to share what we do and what we can do about the query shared.
Whānau Query: Introduce a Head lice reduction programme
Our response: We have in our sick bay kutu combs and kutu solution for whānau to come and collect to start treatment at home. The new imoko programme, if whānau register, can also come in and treat any children.
Our School Song
This week we have been practising our school song that was written a few years ago by local musician “Troy Kingi”:
Ko te Kura Rāwhiti
Ko te Kura Rāwhiti e haruru nei
Ka pū te ruha ka hao te rangatahi e
We celebrate our school
And all that we achieve
Proud and prepared, learning to reach our dreams
CHORUS
We strive to be courteous, co-operative, considerate, use common sense
We are the leaders of our future
Uphold the mana of our school
Working hard is what we do
Taking a risk and giving it a go
Always happy to show what we know
Ko te Kura Rāwhiti e haruru nei
Ka pū te ruha ka hao te rangatahi
Ka tū te ihi ka tū te mana
Kia kaha kia toa kia manawanui
Kaikohe East is a great place to be
Helping each other like one big family
Coming to school and having lots of fun
Learning together and working as one
CHORUS
We strive to be courteous, co-operative, considerate, use common sense
We are the leaders of our future
