Christmas Time is Here! School closes 12 noon, Friday 20th December.

Kia ora Katikati Primary Whānau,

Together, we’ve created an incredible year of learning, growth, and fun! Thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of our school community.

I’m sure you’re all looking forward to a well-deserved holiday break, and I know you’ll agree that our students have truly been shining stars this term—they’ve earned every moment of rest and joy ahead.

 SCHOOL CLOSES 12 noon 20th December

Today, we say goodbye for the holidays, with students returning to school on Monday 10th February, as Friday 7th is now a Teacher Only Day. Whether you’re traveling afar, exploring the wonderful events around our region, or simply enjoying the comfort of home, please know that on behalf of all of us at Katikati Primary, I wish you safe journeys, happy memories, and peace during this season.

 

We also wish all our Year Six students a fun evening celebrating their achievements at Katikati Primary. They have worked so hard, and we’re incredibly proud of them. We wish them all the best as they enjoy the holidays and prepare for their exciting new journey at Katikati College.

 

May each of you experience the true meaning of Christmas, savor the New Year festivities, and create treasured moments with your loved ones. Let’s come back refreshed and ready for a fantastic year in 2025—I can’t wait to see all those familiar faces again!

 

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Ngā mihi nui,

Andrea Nicholson

Principal, Katikati Primary School
