Kia ora koutou. A big thank you to our Home and School Committee for our fabulous new hoops and bright coloured shade cloth that have arrived and been erected on the new turf. We are still waiting to get the shorter netball hoops attached too, hopefully they will arrive next week.

The following events can also be found on our school calendar on our school website.

As we prepare for the year ahead, it is important that we know how many children living within our enrolment zone we can expect. We will also have places for children turning five in 2022, who currently live out of zone. Please encourage friends, neighbours and relatives to enrol their children now if they would like them to attend Khandallah School next year.

Congratulations to all our students who attend the Interzone Cross Country on Tuesday.

"A third of Kākā students have been inspired by New Zealand's native birds. We explored colour mixing, painting and collage to create this art."

We ask all parents to send some small comfort items to school that can be accessed by teachers quickly in case of emergency, when children may be upset and need to remain at school for an extended period while parents make their way here. Please send a named sandwich sized ziplock bag with a change of underwear, a snack that your child will enjoy such as a muesli and a small comfort toy.

We'll be ice-skating, going to Mission Inflatable & the Petone Settlers Museum, experiencing a “Sensory Gym”, visiting Space Place and going on Treasure & Scavenger Hunts. We'll also be visiting two of our favourite places, the Botanic Gardens Play Area & the Kelburn School down-the-bank adventure playground.
