Kaka Street is going to be the Dollar Value star of the week for their Cash for Kids fundraising opportunity. We will recieve credit for 5% of all reciepts handed in to the four Dollar Value stores in the bay for the week beginning 25th June. Happy Shopping everyone!!
Sadly we have to report the death of staff member
Liz Fyvie, teacher aide, who worked in our Te Puke Satellite class since the beginning of 2004. Liz took leave from work at the beginning of this year to focus on treatment for cancer that ultimately she was unable to beat despite a brave battle. Liz passed away Saturday April 28 and her funeral was held at the Te Puke Citizens Club on Thursday 3 May. Liz was a highly respected teacher aide and friend to us all. Our deepest
sympathies to her husband Alan, children Leighton, Maria, Damien, their respective partners and extended family.
Hello everyone, it is great to have all the students back on board. This term we are carrying on our ‘Celebration’ theme and are looking at ‘How we celebrate?’. Our whole school event for this term is a ‘Balloon and Kite Day’ which is on the 21st June.
This term we have Gayna Paris taking on the Associate Principal role from Jo Crean who has taken terms 2 and 3 off for an extended trip to Europe. Eleanor de Vries is taking on a teaching role at our Intermediate satellite class with Monique Eades becoming the Lead Teacher. Hope everyone enjoys their new role.
Have a lovely term 2!
We have been very lucky to use the new arena and facilities at Riding for the Disabled in Welcome Bay. They have a new indoor areana so we can always access riding no matter what the weather. The students loved it.

We had an incredibly day at our annual Kayak day at Rotary Park. Everyone had a great time in and out of the water. The weather was glorious and we had some fantastic help from Waimarino and Boys College.
We have lots of exciting things happening this term. Our topic is ‘All about me’. It will be interesting to see how each class interprets this topic. Our whole school kayak day is 14th February so we can spend the day with our valentine!!
We are very lucky to have 2 new members of teaching staff in 2012.
Aysha Wheeler has travelled from the UK to join us and will be teaching in Room 3 at the Base School. Jess Hubbard is our new Specialist Teacher Outreach Service (STOS) teacher who will be working with students in maninstream settings. We welcome both of you and wish you luck in your new roles.
Kaka Street will be open for students on Wednesday 1st February. Can’t wait to see everyone and hear about their holidays.
Thank you to everyone involved in Kaka Street Special School for an awesome year. Bring on 2012!!!!
