Today we held a remembrance ceremony ahead of ANZAC Day tomorrow. Nine of our year 8 students led the ceremony and did an amazing job. Four students from room Kowhai, our new entrant class, placed wreaths in our remembrance garden.
Together, we took time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country, and the importance of remembering their courage and commitment.

Lest we forget.

Caring for Our Native Seedlings 🪴

With the support of Trees for Survival , our kura has been nurturing 1,000 native seedlings that will be ready for planting later this year.

Recently, Room Rākau spent an afternoon pruning and weeding the seedlings to help them continue to grow strong and healthy.

It was a great opportunity for our tamariki to learn about caring for the environment and the importance of native planting. A big ngā mihi to Whaea Julie and Rākau for all of your wonderful mahi! 💪

Tarawera Ultra Trail 2026 - what an incredible experience again this year!

A huge thank you to our amazing aid station crew — we truly couldn’t have done it without you. Your time, effort, and unwavering support made all the difference.

To the wonderful Kaharoa School parents who made soups, pasta bakes and baking to fuel our athletes and crew — thank you! The athletes were so grateful, and we’ve heard we had the best aid station with the best food!

To all the kids who came along, you were outstanding. You should be incredibly proud of the job you did.

Special thanks to our Year 7/8 students for the awesome posters — they brought so much energy and encouragement to the day.

We can’t wait to do it all again with you next year!
