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!

On Thursday 02 April, Ruma Kereru will be celebrating the end of term 1. At the beginning of the term, the children decided that having a PJ Day with games and a movie along with a shared lunch wouold be a good choice. They have all worked very hard and deserve a fun day. Plesse can you send to school something for your child to share for lunch. Please can you lets us know if your child is ot able to have chocolate please.
I hope to be well enough to attend school on Thurday and enjoy the day with the children. If I don;t get the opportunity to see you, hope you have a wonderful Easter. and I am looking forward to working with your children again next term.

Kia ora whānau!
We are so excited to finally get the Great Kaimai Boat Race underway tomorrow, 31st March! The energy is building, and we can’t wait to see all those fantastic boats hit the water.
The races will start at 1:20pm.
Please ensure that students entering the race bring togs (or a wetsuit), a towel, and some warm clothes to change into. The forecast is looking good for tomorrow, so the race will go ahead rain or shine. We will actively monitor the students' welfare and minimise exposure by having them change as soon as they’ve raced.
To keep those masterpieces safe and dry before the race, we have set up a "dry harbour" in the Community Hall. Feel free to drop boats off there at any time during the day.

Morena whanau,
There are still quite a few outstanding sports tshirts from Rippa and also Tauranga Boys College Jazz performance, please return these before the end of term.

Morena whanau,
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for the Local Legends Grant—we truly appreciate your support. While we didn’t take out the top prize, we’re grateful to have received $1,000 for participating.
