E te whānau, tēnā koutou katoa,

Yesterday we held a powhiri to welcome new whanau to KNS. A number of the new parents/caregivers commented on how powerful the welcome was and how they now feel genuinely part of the KNS community. It was wonderful to see how disciplined, enthusiastic, skilled and confident our tamariki were in their performance. Once again they made me very proud of them.

School Cross-Country Tomorrow – Thursday 11 May

We are hoping to hold our school cross-country tomorrow morning at Ben Burn Park, starting at 9.30am. The weather forecast is not looking great and we may need to postpone the event. A decision will be made early tomorrow morning as to whether the cross-country will go ahead or be postponed.

If the decision is made to postpone the event, a message will be sent on Hero before 8.30am to inform you of the postponement.

Please note a message will only be sent if the event is postponed.
