On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I wish to thank our students and staff for an amazing year.

2022 has certainly presented us all with many highs and lows. Amongst the many highlights would be the KHS 50th Reunion and the Matariki celebrations. These events were not only highlights for our school, but for the entire community.

As Kaiapoi, both the town and the high school, continues to grow, 2023 promises to bring more opportunities our way. Kaiapoi High School has a dedicated, committed, and hardworking teaching and support staff that will continue to keep us in a well-placed position to adapt to any challenges in the New Year.

The summer holidays are fast approaching and with them, another year is coming to a close. This is a time for all students who are finishing their years at Kaiapoi High School to be exceptionally proud of how far they have come, the life skills they have learned, and the friendships they have made. Never stop dreaming, never stop learning and never stop exploring.

Mere Kirihimete and enjoy your summer break.

Belinda Smith, Board Chair
