Principal's Welcome Message

Kia ora koutou,

Haere mai, welcome to Waikouaiti School, where our vision is growing together. Nestled in the beautiful coastal town of Waikouaiti, we are proud to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential.

At Waikouaiti School, we value care, respect and kindness. Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff work together to create a safe and engaging learning space that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a love for lifelong learning. We believe in strong connections with whānau and the wider community, ensuring that every student feels supported on their educational journey.

We are proud of our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and our partnership with Puketeraki Marae that helps in preparing our tamariki to be confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. Whether you are a new family considering joining our school or a long-standing member of our community, we welcome you to explore what makes Waikouaiti School so special.

Please feel free to visit, get involved, and be part of our vibrant school whānau.

Subject: Upcoming Basketball, Hockey, and Netball Teams
1 Apr 2026

Hi everyone,


Please return the notices to the office by tomorrow if your child in Year 3-6 is interested in playing basketball.


Over the holidays, I will email all families with information about the teams for hockey and netball. We currently have two Year 5/6 hockey teams and one Year 3/4 team. Additionally, if anyone in Year 3/4 is interested in playing netball, please let me know as soon as possible, as we currently have only three interested players. However, we do have enough players to form a Year 5/6 netball team.


If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. 


Wishing you all a wonderful Easter!


Katrina
