🌸🐰 Hoppy Holidays! 🐰🌸 As Term 1 wraps up next Friday, 11th April, we’d like to wish all our wonderful parents and students a very Happy Easter! We hope you enjoy some precious family time.

🌟 Kia ora Katikati Primary Whānau! 🌟

Wow, Term 1 has flown by so quickly! This term, we’ve been focusing on the value of Excellence. Our tamariki have been working hard to do their best in everything—whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports field, or in their friendships. We’ve seen great teamwork in sports, fantastic effort in lessons, and kindness in everyday actions.

We are so proud of how they are shining and showing that excellence is not just about winning—it’s about trying hard, being brave, and never giving up. Let’s celebrate their amazing efforts together!

🗓️ Note These Key Dates

As a heads-up, the term will officially end next Friday, 11th April, 2.50pm and we’ll be welcoming our children back for Term 2 on Tuesday, 29th April.

📝 Important Reminder: Monday, 28th April is a Teacher Only Day. This day has been provided by the Ministry of Education to support our team in implementing the new Maths curriculum.

Looking ahead, next term we’ve got two important public holidays to note:

🎉King’s Birthday: Monday, 2nd June

✨Matariki: Friday, 20th June

We hope everyone has a fantastic break and the children return refreshed and ready for an exciting Term 2!

Ngā mihi nui for your ongoing support—it’s the heart of what makes our school such a special place to learn, grow, and connect. 🌟

Ngā mihi nui,

Andrea Nicholson

Principal, Katikati Primary School
