Message from our Principal

Kia ora koutou,

As we move through another busy term, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the many ways our community continues to embody the values of whanaungatanga (relationships and belonging), kaitiakitanga (guardianship and responsibility), and manaakitanga (care and kindness). We have been working with staff and students to develop a shared understanding of these values. They are at the heart of everything we do at Katikati College, and they guide us in providing a supportive and enriching environment for our students.

I’m excited to share that we have a number of events and initiatives coming up that reflect these values. Our Pink Ribbon Lunch Fundraiser is happening on Saturday 31 August. This will be an amazing event with culinary delights provided by our very talented hospitality area. If you haven’t already, book a ticket for what promises to be a very memorable event.

We’re also hosting a Quiz Night to raise funds for our Year 10 camp. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to come together as a community, have some fun, and support a great cause. The funds raised will help ensure that all students can participate in the camp, which is an invaluable experience for their personal and social development.

In addition, I'd like to highlight the Katikati College Acorn Fund, which has been recently established to support the school in providing greater opportunities for both staff and students. Contributions to this fund will enable us to enhance our educational offerings and create more enriching experiences, ensuring that everyone at our school can reach their full potential. Further information can be found in the newsletter.

Attendance continues to be a key focus for us. Regular attendance is vital for students' academic success and overall well-being. We understand that life can sometimes get in the way, but we encourage you to support your child's consistent attendance. If there are any challenges, please reach out—we’re here to help.

On Wednesday 28 August, we will be holding Whānau Teacher Hui with a slightly different format this year. The school will be closed for the day to allow you to connect deeply with your child’s teachers. These hui are crucial for discussing your child’s progress and ensuring that we’re all working together to support their learning journey.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone about the importance of wearing the school uniform correctly. Our uniform is a symbol of pride and belonging, and we are committed to helping all students wear it with confidence. If your child needs any support with their uniform, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, let’s keep nurturing the strong sense of community that makes Katikati College a special place to learn and grow.

Ngā mihi nui,

Lou Buckley
