Kaikōura Suburban School

What an incredible past few weeks we have had. Topped off by the amazing return of our legacy fundraiser - The Whale Run. We had over four hundred and thirty competitors.

This included the previous Principal of our kura Michelle Spencer, who started the event 18 years ago. A huge thank you to everyone on the Whale Run committee for your action and drive in making the event such a success. To all of our community for donating your time to helping us on the day and to our sponsors whom were so very generous in their donations. I also want to acknowledge our staff we were at school until late most days leading up to the whale run and everyone pulled together for the full day of the whale run as well. Thank you to the Suburban team - you are so amazing.

Mrs Hills also arranged for our Kaikōura primary schools to experience 'Strike Percussion'. This was an uplifting mov'in 'N' groov'in performance. Thank you so much Mrs Hills for making Strike Percussion happen.

Miss Watt is has been taking Toroa on a journey of being Kaitiaki of our land, meeting with Barry and Jenny Dunnett who shared their predator control mahi up in the Waimangarara reserve. Also, hosting another fundraiser, the Toroa market day, coming up on Saturday September 24th - where our Toroa tamariki will be engaging their exceptional entrepreneur skills once again.

In Tītī Miss Macer has been working with Miss Southgate on learning about Hauora - wellbeing, nutrition and health.

From the Suburban Whānau

We are so looking forward to Saturday 24th September, to run our market and raise money for our 2022 camp.

We hope to see you at the market day!

Our new school Board took office last month and we thought we’d take this

opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you a bit about what we do.

The boards role is to oversee the governance of our school and to ensure that

everything that needs to be done gets done - legally, ethically, and as well as

possible in the best interests of our students. We want our Kaikoura Suburban

students to be prepared for life well beyond school and we outline our targets

and long-term goals in our school charter to make sure we achieve that.

We meet on the second Tuesday of each month (except during school holidays).

Anyone is welcome to attend a Board meeting – the agenda, including the date

and time of the meeting, is available in the school office 2 school days before the

meeting is held (our next meeting is September 20th). Our new staff

representative on the Board is Bec Macer.

Entries close Thursday 29 September.
