 Exam and Assessment Conditions

A reminder that, the Derived Grade Practice Examinations will be held from tomorrow until the 20th October.  We will operate under examination conditions during this time.

Some school operations will differ from our usual routines to accommodate the examination conditions.

Access to the school grounds: As the Upper School building is our Exam Centre, access to this area of the school grounds is limited to staff and students involved in the assessments.  

The main gate will be locked, so there will be no access to the school through this gate. Please use the side gate by the playground for all access to the school grounds.

Temporary Office Location : The office will be temporarily relocated to an office space in the second lower building, Kauri Rua. Please follow the map posted at the gate for directions to the temporary office.  Due to the temporary change in location, the school phone line will not be able to be answered directly. However, the line will remain open and voicemail will be checked regularly.

Alternatively, you can contact the office by:

Phone: 020 4110 5250
Email: info@kingsgate.school.nz
Thank you for your support.

 

The KingsGate team.

Dear KingsGate community,

The Board advises the school community that two casual vacancies have arisen for elected parent representative positions on the School Board.

One vacancy has arisen due to family commitments, and the second vacancy has arisen in accordance with the Education and Training Act 2020.

At its meeting on 15 September 2026, the Board resolved to fill both vacancies by selection, in accordance with Schedule 23, clause 13 of the Education and Training Act 2020.

Members of the school community are invited to note that, should at least 10% of those entitled to vote in a School Board election request in writing that the vacancies be filled by election, the Board must hold a by-election.

Any request for a by-election must be received by the Board by Thursday, 29 October.  Requests should be submitted in writing to Peter Wilding at presidingmember@kingsgate.school.nz.

Kind regards
Louise Posthuma
