School photos will be taken on Monday morning. If you would like a sibling photo taken, please return the consent form to the school office as soon as possible. If the form has been misplaced, feel free to write a note or email the office instead.
All students will have an individual portrait and a class photo taken.
Photolife will provide you with a login to view and purchase the photos if desired, but there is no obligation to buy.
Jump Jam Success 🕺🏻
Last weekend, the Kaikorai Primary Jump Jam team travelled to Christchurch to compete in the South Island National Championships. The team earned numerous excellence awards and proudly took 2nd place overall, adding a beautiful new trophy to our display.
Thank you to our staff, whānau, and especially our dedicated jammers for their commitment and hard work in perfecting the routine.
Road Safety, parking and driving ⚠️
This week, I received phone calls and emails, including photos of vehicles, from members of our community who reported unsafe driving practices by those picking up Kaikorai children.
Please
-Do not park on yellow lines
-Speed
-Park over driveways
These unsafe driving practices put our children at risk. Please share this message with anyone who picks up your child from school, including grandparents, babysitters, and older siblings who drive.
