Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,
Wow - the last newsletter of 2018. This year has whizzed by, yet when we reflect back it has been so packed with student achievements and fun moments that truely showcase our ākonga’s unique and brilliant personalities.
As pouako we have been so proud of all of the members of Kahurangi and how much they have grown this year. To celebrate the amazing year and the end of term tomorrow at 12pm, we will be having our shared Kai . Kahurangi will be supplying pizza (which works out at around 3-4 slices each). If your tamaiti would like to bring extra lunch to supplement that they can feel free to bring some extra lunch, along with their usual morning tea and brainfood.
We will have our final swim for the year tomorrow morning - we hope to see our tamariki taking up the opportunity to have some rekareka (fun) and cool off in this lovely hot weather! This year’s long awaited reports will be coming home tomorrow. What a fantastic way to end the year and celebrate our student’s successes. A classroom placement notice will also be included with reports to let you know your tamaiti’s homeroom and pouako.
We are excited to add that this year we will also have visits to our new homerooms on Wednesday morning, at 10:30am. This will be a great opportunity for our ākonga to spend some time with their new pouako and hapu in their new space.
School finishes at 12:30pm on Wednesday. Please make sure you have made arrangements for your tamariki to be picked up at this earlier time. Please find some information in regards to the start of 2019 attached below.
A huge thank you to our Kahurangi whānau for their support this year, your tamariki have loved having you be a special part of their learning journey. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a fabulous New Year and a break full of family fun and wonderful experiences.
Ngā Mihi,

Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,
Wow, week 8 already - and we are still going full steam ahead in Kahurangi with the week ahead focused on completing our amazing art projects for our Canvas for Change conceptual curriculum unit. Such great messages we are seeing come through around social issues in our world today. It’s awesome to see our ākonga thinking about how they can make positive choices in society.
A big congratulations to all of our Kahurangi tamariki for their efforts on Monday night at the school prize giving. What fantastic performances from the Kapa Haka rōpu Tuakana, school choir and our very own Hip Hop crew. Congratulations to those who were formally recognised for their achievements on Monday at prize giving also. We are so proud of each and every one of our learners, the tautoko (support) they showed for each other.
Another huge congratulations goes to all of our tamariki who took part in the Inter School Athletics competition last Wednesday. We were super proud of your attitude, effort and performances on the day. It is always special to get feedback from our school whānau about the wairua (spirit) you all showed - tu meke koutou! Certificates for Inter School placings will be presented at Badge Assembly on Thursday.
With the weather heating up, we are excited that the school pool is ready for use! We are booked in for optional swimming session every day this week - so please bring along your togs if you would like a chance to have some fun in the sun!
Badge Assembly will take place on Thursday 6th December at 11:30am. We welcome you all to come and celebrate our learners achievements.
There is no CRE this week.
There is no assembly this week.
On Friday we will start to take down all of our students wonderful learning that brightens our walls. Can you please ensure your tamaiti (child) brings a suitable bag to take home their books from this year.

Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,
Wow - this term is just racing by and this week is set to be another busy one. It’s fantastic to see our students still so engaged in their learning, putting in the mahi right up until the end and doing an amazing job of it!
This week the big ones are…
Prizegiving will take place this evening! Students need to wear school uniform and will be seated with their PODs at the front of the theatre. All students need to be seated by 6:50pm so we can start on time. Normally prizegiving will be done by 8:30pm.
Kapa Haka performers will need to meet at the back of the Regent at 6:15pm. We are hoping to have a little run through in our changing rooms at 6:30 pm with the prizegiving starting at 7:00pm. Students will have their kapa haka uniforms with them, if possible could they please come in them and remember to bring their school uniform to change into afterwards. Some students will have the blue borrowed uniforms that need to be pinned at the back, if this can't be done then Mr Hobbs will have safety pins with him.
Prizegiving is an opportunity to acknowledge student achievements throughout the year and showcase the talents of the performers. However, please be aware that not everyone can be recognised for their wonderful efforts and achievements. As a pod, we only present 7 certificates to students. Therefore, although we congratulate those who do receive certificates or are chosen to represent the student council, our students should all be proud of their efforts and contributions this year.
This week for our Canvas for Change Conceptual Curriculum unit we will be further exploring how we can convey a message using the arts. We have looked at various social issues over the past few weeks, and have explored different art forms that we may like to use this week. We can’t wait to see what creative ideas our ākonga come up with! It would be a great opportunity this week for whānau to talk with their tamaiti (child) about their ideas so they can bounce ideas around!
Inter school athletics will take place this Wednesday. We wish those taking part all the best - we know you will do amazing! Thanks to those parents who have been able to offer assistance and transport on the day. Those participating please make sure you are here by 8:45am. Uniforms need to be washed after the event and returned ASAP to allow them to be accounted for and organised before the end of the year.
This week will be the final CRE for the year.
As always, there are basic facts and spelling on blog for those who would like to extend themselves at home. Chapter Chat activities for Gangsta Granny are also available on the Kahurangi Blog. We have been receiving some wonderful work that we are proudly showcasing in our pod!
