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!

Kia ora whānau,
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday 10th) is the Kaimai School Swimming Sports. This will start at 1:00pm and will run until approximately 2:30pm. The focus of this event is on participation and healthy hapū group competition.
Please send students with their swimwear, goggles, towel x2, hat, water bottle, and a hair tie for long hair. Students are also encouraged to bring and wear their hapū shirt or similar coloured clothing for the day.
We hope to see you there!
Kia ora everyone
Yay! reading groups for guided rading has started today. Your child will have in their bookbag, a reader, and two key rings. One key ring is is sounds, the other are words they need to learn to read. These words are not decodeable and yu can help them read the words when they come across them in their story. Tonight I would like them to find the sounds and words in their stories. there is no need to hsve them read they story to you as they have just been introduced to your child. Tje book bags also contain two books. The notebook will be used to indicate sounds/words and book title for you. the other book will have activities for you ch8ild to complete. These books DO NOT have anything in them today. It is ESSENTIAL that your chld brings their bookbags and reading material to school everyday for continued instruction. Remember that Monday is library day and all books need to be returned.
Thank you.
