Tēnā koutou katoa! Nau mai haere mai!
Welcome to Kaimai School.On behalf of our amazing teachers and Board of Trustees, we are delighted to welcome you and your whānau to Kaimai School. Kaimai School is a long established, rural school which opened in 1913. We are a U2 sized school with a roll of just under 100 students. Our Kaimai Kids start with us as New Entrants through to Year 8.
Kaimai School is not zoned and our Kaimai Kids either live in the Kaimai area or travel from Tauranga.
We are situated on the Kaimai Range, State Highway 29, ten minutes drive from The Crossing Tauriko and twenty minutes from Tauranga CBD. The majority of our students travel by buses that serve the upper and lower Kaimai area.
Our Kaimai Kids enjoy large grounds with a skatepark, swimming pool, court area, extensive native bush, spacious classrooms and numerous play areas suitable for different age groups. We also offer a daily breakfast club and specialist teachers who deliver intervention programmes!
We are very proud of our school and the opportunities it provides for our students and believe we offer a well rounded educational experience! We would love the opportunity to show you around our school and share our special place with you!

Morena whānau,
Just a reminder that a reduced speed zone is now in place during school start and finish times. When the signs are active, the speed limit past the school is 60 km/h.
The reduced speed applies during the following times:
8:00am – 9:00am

Please take care when arriving at or leaving the school during these times and ensure you follow the reduced speed limit.

Kia ora whānau,
Just a reminder that tomorrow is the 2026 Kaimai School Cross Country. Races will start at 11:00am.
Remember, students must wear suitable footwear and should bring a warm change of clothes.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council is planning a temporary closure of a section of Poripori Road.
Two slips formed in January 2023 during Cyclone Gabrielle and have since compromised the stability and integrity of the road.
To enable these repairs to be carried out safely, Poripori Road will be closed between Kumikumi Road and Tebbutt Road for approximately eight weeks, from 11 May to 3 July (weather dependent).
There will be no through access during this period. A detour will be available via State Highway 29, Cambridge Road, State Highway 2, Wairoa Road and Crawford Road.
Morena whānau,
Thank you to all the parents who have supported our Breakfast Club so far. Our tamariki absolutely love it, and we truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve given.
We are still looking for a few more helpers, as we don’t have anyone available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now the mornings are getting colder our tamariki love a warm milo and a warm place to have a catch up with their friends.
If you’re able to spare an hour in the morning to lend a hand, it would make a big difference and be greatly appreciated.
Ngā mihi nui

Kia ora whānau,
Tuesday next week is the 2026 Kaimai School Cross Country. Races will start at 11:00am, with each race starting upon completion of the previous race.
Students must wear suitable footwear, as the course takes place on a farm. They are also advised to bring warm clothes to get changed into and a change of footwear for after their race, as they may get wet (and dirty) when running.
Whānau are asked to please park on the main field, closest to the road.
Parents, please support our local businesses
