Welcome to 2021 at Kohimarama School! 2021 is an exciting year for our school as we celebrate our centennial in Sept. We also have two new PTA co-chairs, with Lynda stepping down last year, Julie Lindenberg and Elizabeth Massey. For those of you new to the school, the PTA is a group of volunteers who support the school by assisting in creating a sense of community and raising funds for the school, such as the turf being laid on the main field to enable year long sports activities. There are plenty of opportunity for you to get involved: whether it is a big or small activity, or inside or outside of school hours. We will be handing flyers out at the Meet the Teachers evening on Tuesday 16th February if you would like to know more, or email me at kohiptachair@gmail.com
Lost Property
There is a lot of lost property from 2020 in the school hall. If you are missing something please take a look before Wednesday 17th February 2021. After that anything labelled, we will attempt to return to the student. Any clothing that is unlabeled and in good condition will be washed and put into the inventory for second hand uniform. All lunchboxes, shoes etc will be binned.
Second Hand Uniform
If you ordered second hand uniform last year and have not received it please collect from the top shelve of the second-hand uniform cupboard, in reception. If you have ordered something and it is not there, please email bclindenberg@hotmail.com. We are in the process of handing over the responsibilities for the second-hand uniform coordinator and want to ensure we have not missed any orders.
