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,
The lower bus will be running approximately 15-20 minutes late this afternoon, as the relief driver arrived late to school.
Our apologies for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this situation was outside of our control.
Thank you for your understanding.

Have you thought about joining the Kaimai School PTA. Come along to the AGM or contact a pta member to find out more. We are always looking for extra helpers.

Kia ora whānau,
Just a quick update: this morning we discovered that the bore pump for the school had failed, and as a result, we had no water for a while. We have since had our tank filled, and work is underway to resolve this issue by the end of the week. We don't foresee any further issues with water this week, but we just wanted to keep you all in the loop.
Parents, please support our local businesses
