Kia ora KingsGate Primary community!

We warmly invite you to join us for our Year 1–6 Primary Assembly tomorrow at 8.50am in the Totara LIFEspace.

Please note that, while our newsletter originally advised that our Year 1 students would be hosting this assembly, there has been a change to the programme. Instead, this assembly will celebrate our primary school as a whole and will be led by our capable Year 6 student leaders.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Dear KingsGate Year 1–6 whānau,

We are getting so close to the end of the term! It has been a busy one, with so many exciting events and learning opportunities packed into these past few months.

As Term 2 draws to a close this week, I would like to share a few important updates with you.

Firstly, this afternoon you will receive a digital copy of your child's school report via email. Reports will be issued today for students in Years 2–6. Please note that Year 1 students who started school at the beginning of the school year will receive their reports early in Term 3. 

When you open your child's report, you will notice that it looks different from last year. This is due to new Ministry of Education reporting requirements. If you have any questions about your child's report, please feel free to discuss them during your child's Three-Way Chat on Thursday 2nd July.

Bookings for Three-Way Chats will close this afternoon, Monday 29th June at 3.00pm. Please remember that the normal school day will not operate on Thursday while these meetings are taking place. Students are encouraged to stay home if they are able to. However, school will remain open for those who require supervision. If your child will need supervision, please let the school office know so we can plan accordingly.

Secondly, I will be beginning maternity leave at the end of this term and I plan to return around Term 3 next year. During my absence, we have a wonderful leadership team who will be overseeing the primary school. Tilly Pointon will be providing oversight as Head of Primary, alongside Whaea Lovely and Mrs Neill. While I will certainly miss being part of the KingsGate community during this special season, I leave knowing that our primary school is in very capable hands.

Before I finish, I would like to sincerely thank you, our whanau community, for the incredible support you give to KingsGate. Whether you are attending assemblies, helping with sports teams and school trips, supporting learning at home, or simply greeting staff at the school gate each morning, your partnership makes a real difference. We are truly blessed to have such a supportive and caring school community.

As we head into the school holidays at the end of next week, I pray that you are able to take time to rest, stay healthy, and enjoy precious time with your families.

God bless,

Rachel Cadelis
