Welcome to

Kaimai School

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!

Term 2 update 1
21 Apr 2026

Kia ora Whanau

I hope everyone is well and have braved the aweful weather.  Term two is a very busy term with our fiist topic being ANZAC.   We read a story today called ANZAC Ted.  He was handed down from a yong boys grandad and is a very precious toy.  The young boy's grandad had been to WW1 and took ANZAC Ted as a mascot.  On his rerturn home, the bear was very tattered and worst for wear.   We will continue with the topic of ANZAC for the rest of the week with a focus on the animals that have helped in war. On Friday, we will bake ANZAC biscuits.

Tomorrow I have asked the students to bring along a special toy that they have, that has a history or has been pasted down/given to them from someone special.  I will ensure that the toys are kept safely.

Maths, 2D shapes

Writing , diary writing

 

I will update with more Kereru action soon.
