KIA ORA FROM KYRAN
Talofa lava Kahurangi aiga and supporters!
Last week we enjoyed celebrating Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa -
Samoan Language Week and were undeterred by it being a three day
week which included trips and the Eastern Zone cross
country event.
Samoan Language Week gives our students of all backgrounds
the chance to learn some basic Samoan and gives our Samoan
tamaiti (children) the opportunity to share their extensive
knowledge in the classroom quite often taking on the role of teacher, as
they know more.

Fri 25 June
We are really hoping our tamariki and whānau are gathering sponsors and Eastern Zone Kapa Haka
supporting their children to learn their Spell-a-thon words. As mentioned in the Festival
information that went home we only have one school fundraiser every two years All students
which is highly unusual for a school. For those of you who are new to Kahurangi
we promise you this is the only time we focus on raising money. We take a lot
of pride in being a 100% free school. Although there are now more schools that
are free since the government introduced their new donation incentive we
have always been free and know most other schools still charge for things such
as after-school sports and various other things. Therefore we are really really
hoping that whānau will get behind this fundraiser and support their child to
raise funds for our school. We’ve also added the incentive of prizes for amounts
of money raised which will provide some extra encouragement.
A new Teacher Aide has joined our staff
Hannah started working
for us on a casual basis
but we’ve now been
able to secure
enough funding
to employ her for
the remainder of
the year which
we’re really
happy about.
Hannah supports
students in our
younger classes.
We’re glad to have you
join our kura Hannah!
Does your child play sport for a Kahurangi Team? If you’ve answered ‘yes’ we’re asking that you are
mindful of the commitment they made to their team (and our school) when signing up. I’m hearing that there are many players
not turning up to practices or their games because they don’t feel like it or they’ve got something else they’d rather be doing.
Whānau, when your child does this they’re not honouring their commitment. We ask you to help us as their parent by insisting
that they do in fact show up and see their committment through.

We were proud of every single child who ran in our cross country!
More photos can be found on our website.
When we have our school cross country we know that for some children this is a really fun event and for others it’s an event that
they dread. I would really like to thank those whānau who sent their tamariki to school to compete despite their child disliking
it or it being something that they’re not good at. We believe at Kahurangi that doing this supports your child to build their
resilience, and allow them to learn not everything they do will be easy or something they’ll be good at.

At Kahurangi our tamariki value opportunities that take them outside the classroom to support our in-class learning. The last
two weeks marked the start of our bi-annual senior EOTC experiences. During the next two terms the Year 4-8 students will be
attending a range of trips that are focussed on trying new things, working together and as a team, challenging themselves both
physically and mentally and accessing our local community.
