Our School Song
We encourage our children to continue practising our school song, this 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

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: Following up on bullying issues.
Our response: Staff too are concerned when bullying happens. We remind Whānau that if they are aware of any bullying issues that in the first instance they let us know. If you feel an issue has not been dealt with then please contact Whaea Chicky
Hope this clarifies some of your ideas, thank you.
