I would like to congratulate all of the students who received their ARC Awards in Week 4. It was a real pleasure to sign each of the certificates and read through the achievements of our students.  

The term is moving rapidly towards senior exam time, and all students in Year 9 through to 13 will be sitting exams of some kind in Term 4. With this in mind our current ARC focus is time management. This includes planning for and meeting deadlines, as well as using class time wisely.

Please find timetable attached.

Friday 23rd September | 5 - 7pm | Behind Wespac Bank

Congratulations to Katikati College Year 9 and 10 students who achieved amazing results in the annual EducationPerfect Science Championships.

Stella Hamilton-Wallace was the only Katikati College entrant in the BOP Ski & Snowboard champs held at Turoa on 15th August. Competing in the Junior Girls Division she took out the champs  winning the Gold Medal. Well done Stella.

The final event from the Thames Valley Scholastic Qualifiers was held at Waihi Beach on Sunday 14th August.  

The Katikati College U14 Rugby team have been declared the winners of the BOP Rugby Union U14 Championship Division. Having won all their games this year by fairly sizable margins, this well-drilled team was easily the strongest in their league.  

We obtained good results at the Junior Table Tennis Champs held in the QEYC where last year’s team of Jack Zhang, Joshua McClean and Griffin Fraser were joined by Jared Snowball-Boyes. 

Waihi Beach Surf Club's Cory Macdonald and Taine A’Bear-Horgan placed 1st in the U16 Males Line Throw Relay event in the August SLSNZ Eastern Region Pool Championship.

On 15th August the Fleming family and Mr Harray attended the Trust Power Community Awards held at Comvita in Paengaroa. This was a night where Trust Power recognised community volunteers who have excelled in their field in the last year. Micaela Fleming was awarded the Community Youth Spirit award in recognition of the many hours she has committed in the last year to Waihi Beach Coastguard, Co-Arts Captain at Katikati College and as a Civilian Instructor at Sea Cadets in Tauranga. 

The annual school sports exchange took place at Katikati College on Wednesday 3rd August with Katikati College hosting Waihi College. Waihi was too strong on the day winning 10 out of the 15 games, particularly showing their depth in basketball where they won all 4 games.

In early August vocalists from Year 10 and NCEA Music classes were given the opportunity to work on their singing skills alongside Lavina Williams. 

Congratulations to the 41 students who participated in the ICAS Science in May.
