Kia ora whānau,

Just a friendly reminder that we have created a Kaurilands School team for the upcoming Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon which is on Sun, March 22, 2026.

If your child is interested in taking part, we would love for them to join the team, there is still time to register. The event is a fantastic opportunity for kids to challenge themselves, have fun, and be part of a supportive school group on the day.

The link to join is HERE https://raceroster.com/registration/109746/entry/2ztbzct2y5djb4xz/registration-exists

The TRYathlon is always a great day out and we encourage anyone who is keen to give it a go.

Hi everyone

Our lunch and morning tea orders have dropped significantly, so we’ve decided to move to a single daily delivery as of Monday 2 March.

The current menu will remain unchanged, but all orders will now be delivered in time for lunch at 1:00 pm. All morning teas should now be packed in lunchboxes! We really appreciate your understanding and hope this causes minimal inconvenience.

Place your order now!

Lunches are available via Kindo: https://shop.kindo.co.nz/app/shop

Kaurilands School is holding our much loved School Colour Run as a major fundraising event this year!

The event will be held on Wednesday 1st April (last week of this term). We are really hoping to raise money to upgrade our School Resources and Play Spaces. We need everyone to get involved!

All children will take part in this Colour Run. They will run around a fun course with their friends while volunteers throw bright coloured powder at them- Fun!

We launched this event today, keep your eyes peeled for the sponsorship forms and supporting information which will be sent home with your child this week. Once you have the form, you should sign up for a Student Profile Page at www.schoolfundraising.co.nz. You’ll be able to access online fundraising from here.

Students who raise $10 or more will receive a reward, and the more money you raise the better the reward, and the more you help the school!

We’re looking for all students to participate and we’re organising a great day for our community, so we’d love everyone to come down to support the kids. We will be in touch with more information soon!

If you want to see what a colour run looks like: you can view our video from our last event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQkMWJy2Ybg.
