Inside ....
Miss and Mr
Heilala
Kia ora koutou, Malo elelei and Greetings to whānau.
Above ...Gisborne Boys win the Supreme Award for the NZ Prime
Ministers Education Excellence Awards.
Excellence Awards
It was an honour to represent Kāiti School recently at the Prime
Ministers Education Excellence Awards. 89 schools entered the
awards and 11 finalists were selected. Kāiti and Te Kura Reo Rua o
Waikirikiri were lucky to be named finalists. While we were not
successful in winning an award, as finalists we are very proud to be
recognised for the work we do with our whānau ora families. I would
like to acknowledge the success of these families who have made
positive changes to their lifestyles which has in turn made a positive
difference for their whānau. Congratulations too, to Gisborne Boys
High School for being named supreme winners on the night. The
mahi GBHS are doing with their Whakairo and Tū Tane programmes
is phenomenal and has been developed over several years. How
proud we were of the boys and Te Tairawhiti for being so well
represented on the National Stage.
Ako hui Bookings
Please make your appointment bookings for your meeting with your
child if you have not already done so. Ako hui is on Thursday 2 July
2015 all day. Our students are ready to share their learning progress
with you and why they love learning. It is not easy to present to an
audience, and so it has taken a full term to prepare these hui. Please
make the time to share your child’s success with them. Appointment
bookings forms are on the back of this pānui. The meetings are 15
[2]
minutes long.

A Royal Life
TE
MAHI
Many
peopleKAI
say its
easy being royalty but
its not. Back in the day,
being queen and king
wasn’t easy for
anyone. They had to
lead an army, keep the
kingdom under control
and they had lots of
repsonsibilites. It was
a difficult job.

Positive Behaviour for learning ...Kia Tu Rangatira
Every five weeks we measure how many incidents with behaviour
that we have had in the playground and classrooms. It has been a
good term and our data on behaviour has decreased. On the last
measure we had 6 playground incidents recorded. All of these
students who were involved in incidents are supported now with
teacher aide and our current supervised playground programme Tū
Pakari. In the final week of the term, we will be holding a special Kia
Tū Rangatira assembly to acknowledge the inaugural Gold Zone
learners and their families.
Kings and Queens Proms
To celebrate the term in Kings and Queens style it is time for the
ball. Tickets are on sale next week for the Junior and Senior Winter
Proms in the final week of the term. Junior prom is on Tuesday 30
June from 1 - 2.15pm. Senior Prom is on Wednesday from 1 to
2.15pm. Tickets are $3. Every child gets a sausage and sauce on the
stick on the day. Kings and Queens goodie bags ($3) will be on sale
at the ball/prom as well as drinks for ($2). There is a Bula Fiji meeting
for all involved parents next Thursday evening at 6pm. We trust that
all parents will attend this hui.

Tamararo Kapahaka this weekend
We were lucky to view our roopu at dress rehearsal last Monday.
What an inspiring performance. Words can not express the feelings of
pride that we as whānau had for our tamariki and kaiako who
modeled our school vision on the stage. It has been a huge effort by
our tamariki and their kaiako to prepare for Tamararo. Let’s bring on
Saturday. Please come and tautoko on Saturday at 4.30pm!
School Banking
Our school bankers are doing a great job saving for their future. Every
little bit that we save for today, will be there for us tomorrow. We
would love to see more students banking. Please come and see our
office ladies for more information on school banking which takes
place every Friday.
Mr and Miss Heilala
It is the term of Kings and Queens. On Saturday 4 July the Tongan Trip team will be presenting the Mr
and Miss Heilala pageant. With this pageant comes a three course fine dining experience. Tickets on
sale in the office.
Attendance Matters
Classes are consistently recording
attendance rates over 90%. This is
great news for our students. Thank
you also for advising the school if
your child is going to be absent and
providing an explanation.
ERO Visit next week
We have the Education Review
Office at Kura next week to review
our effectiveness as a kura. It is
