WOW....it's December!!! The end of 2023 is near and boy have our students and staff been busy!!!! Many of the experiences our students are lucky to participate in can't be done without your ongoing support with transportation and parent help. We are very grateful to have such a supportive community.

Hi team. The 2023 finish line is coming into view.....slowly!!! We are now in a position to communicate with you next year's structure, including welcoming some new staff as well as farewelling some of our amazing team.

This year Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School will continue conducting transitions to 2024 as we did in 2023. This approach was incredibly successful for students, staff, and our parent community.

We are excited to finally be able to share with you the new uniform options that you are able to purchase for the beginning of next year. These decisions have been based on the uniform consultation feedback that we completed during 2022 - 2023.

This week we had a team of 13 tamariki attend the Primary Sport Canterbury athletics day at Nga Puna Wai.

On Tuesday 21st November, 34 Te Ahi Kaikōmako ākonga (students) graduated from Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi (Children’s University) at a ceremony in the Christchurch Town Hall. In addition, four students graduated in absentia.

Last week around 180 students, teachers and whānau members of Te Ahi Kaikōmako gathered for our whānau hui.

During our assembly last week we had a special guest - Jane Rollings from Nurse Maude. She came to assembly to say a HUGE thank you to Dominik in Studio 7 for his recent donation of $3000!!!! Dominik has been saving his money and helped co-ordinate a big bake sale, all funds were presented to Nurse Maude! What an awesome way of showing our E Tū Tāngata mindset of 'Others Matter.'

At last weeks assembly we celebrated some awesome young tamariki!

Thank you to our hapori for supporting our Pōhutukawa market and learning celebration. During term three and four our team have explored the concepts of sustainability and technology, this learning culminated in our market day! The market was a huge success and the final tally was $1101.00!! The tamariki will be deciding what charities to koha the money to during the week.
