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
2:20pm – 3:00pm
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.

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.
