Notifications

Dear Parents and Whānau

Further to our message to you late last week about PPTA industrial action on Monday (today), over the weekend we have received further formal notification from the PPTA advising that Partial Strikes will continue through this last week of term.

This means there will be no classes for Year 12 and Year 13 students today.

There will be no classes for Year 11 students on Tuesday.

There will be no classes for Year 10 students on Wednesday.

There will be no classes for Year 9 students on Thursday.

We are unable to supervise students affected by these partial strikes and so please do not send your child to school on those days.

I appreciate how disruptive this situation is for families and whānau.  This is a nation-wide industrial action that the PPTA is taking.

Dear Parents and Whānau

We received formal notification this morning from the PPTA advising that Monday’s Partial Strike will go ahead. 

This means there will be no classes for Year 12 and Year 13 students on Monday 15 September.

We will be in touch regarding the partial strike action planned for Tuesday (Year 11), Wednesday (Year 10) and Thursday (Year 9)  once we receive formal notification of this from the PPTA.

Team photos scheduled for Monday and Tuesday next week have been cancelled. Please return all uniforms  to the Sports Office next week.

Kerikeri High School is proud to support Daffodil Day, a major fundraiser for the Cancer Society. This student-led event is all about showing our support for those affected by cancer and raising as much money as possible for this important cause.

We invite students to take part by wearing yellow, orange, or green and bringing a gold coin donation for Daffodil Day. There will be prizes for: Best dressed form class, Best dressed teacher and Best dressed individual.

The Daffodil Day Poster Competition is now open to Year 7 and 8 students. Entries can be submitted to Te Puna Waiora any time before Judging Day – Monday 15 September.

There will be a giant bake sale at interval and lunch, along with face painting. If any whānau are able to contribute baking, please email Jane Jarman at jjarman@kerikerihigh.ac.nz. Baking can be dropped off at Reception on the morning of Thursday 18 September. Thank you for your support.

Whāia te mātauranga. We are learners and part of that means being on time and ready to start the day together. Be present, be punctual, be prepared.

We would like to remind all students to arrive at school on time and proceed straight to their form class when the first bell rings at 8:35am. Form Time begins at 8:40am, and it’s important that everyone is in class by then. A timely and settled start to the day supports a productive learning environment. Once Year 7-12 students have arrived at school in the morning, they must also stay on site for the day.

Thank you for your continued support.
