Message from our Principal


 

Kia ora koutou


The end of last term saw a range of different activities where our students could demonstrate our College vision and values. The talent and expertise on show at KKC Got Talent was awe-inspiring. It takes courage to get up and  perform in front of your peers; these young people did it with passion, flair, and enthusiasm. These students showcased their ability to grow and push themselves out of their comfort zone. This was also evident in our Year 7 and 8 speech competitors - congratulations to all and those who won.

Our value of manaakitanga could not have been more evident in the Kura Kai cookoff where a group of Year 10 students (led by Hamish Tanner, Karyn Williams, and Nicola Wynne) created 340 meals for our community. We also had our Leo’s Club doing their bit as part of NZ Cleanup week and showing their kaitiakitanga of our school environment. Thank you to our amazing students and staff who go out of their way to support and connect with each other and our community.

Term 4 is a time to recognise the success of our students through assemblies and prizegivings. We have had Sports Prizegiving where we recognised the achievements of our senior teams and individual winners. Later this week we celebrate our Pasifika students through Fiefia Night. The practice and dedication of the students performing will make this a great night of entertainment.

In week 3 we hold Graduation Dinner for our Year 13 students and whānau. At this event, we celebrate the end of a seven year relationship between students, whānau, and school. This is a sad but enjoyable evening as we remember the friendships and memories that have been created over this time. The final prizegivings for
the year are on Tuesday 10 December at the following times: 

● Years 9 & 10 at 9 am 

● Years 7 & 8 at 11.30 am 

● Seniors at 6 pm


I hope that you can join us at these important celebrations.

I would like to bring to your attention that from the start of 2025 students representing the college in sports, arts, and culture will need to have an 80% or better attendance or be working towards improving their attendance. Representing the school is a privilege and I need to ensure that all who are doing so are upholding our school vision and values.

I would also like to remind Year 8 whānau that students are asked to bring a device (Chromebook/laptop) for their learning in Year 9. Device requirements and specifications will be shared shortly with all Year 8 whānau. If you would like to have access to a school device, this will be available at the beginning of 2025.

With the support of the Past Pupils Association, Katikati College has set up a community impact fund through the Acorn Foundation (Katikati College Impact Fund :: Acorn Foundation). The purpose of this fund is to provide for the long-term betterment of the school by providing opportunities above and beyond what the school can. Click on this link for further information is attached.

On Saturday 2 November, Katikati College has the privilege of hosting Pasikifa in the Bay. This is an annual event where students from across the Bay, ECE through to secondary, showcase what it means to be from the Pacific and living in Aotearoa New Zealand. This promises to be an amazing experience and I encourage you all to come along and be a part of this extraordinary day.

Please continue to read our newsletters, website, and FaceBook for important dates and any further information.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the College. I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events this term.
