NAU MAI - HAERE MAI
WELCOME TO THE BEST OF THE BEST - KAMO INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

Kia ora and welcome to the first K.I.S Bulletin for 2012.

We would like to welcome all of our new Year-7 students and their families to the K.I.S whanau of the the "BEST INTERMEDIATE IN THE WORLD!"

TIMES, THEY ARE A CHANGING!!!

As well as welcoming all of our new students for this year, we have to officially welcome some familiar faces on the K.I.S Staff and say farewell to some others.

Mrs Grant is trying to full the huge shoes left behind by our "school mother" Mrs Nisbet. Noeline Nisbet who had been at K.I.S since 1967, has finally decided to retire and have some fun outside of Kamo Intermediate. We wish her a fun-filled and relaxing time away from her K.I.S whanau.

Mrs Julie Williams has decided to take leave for this year, but will see her around as she will be relieving for us.

Whaea Katarina has gone to the Far North and is teaching in the Hokianga this year. We hope she enjoys it up north and we will miss her and the work she does with our Kapa Haka group.

Now that we mention our Kapa Haka group we have a name change for this year, Instead of being called Nga Tipuranga (which is a maori dialect from further south) we will now be called "NGA TUPURANGA" which is from the northern maori dialect.

We have Miss Natalie Plesky actually starting her first full year here in Room11. Although she has been teaching in the class since Term 2 last year, she is now here for the whole of 2012.

Mrs Jo Grant is the new Nutrition Specialist and will of course keep up the K.I.S tradition of the students favorite subject at school (except for lunch of course).

Ms Ngaire is joining us again and will be co-teaching in Room 3 with Ms O'Connor. We welcome her back to Kamo Intermediate.

WE'VE GOT TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!!

As usual with K.I.S some classes have moved around to different rooms and syndicates so here is an updated list.

Room 16 with Ms O'Connor and Ms Ngaire have moved into Kowhai and Room 3.
Room 3 with Ms Butler have moved into Rimu and Room 16.

Room 18 with Mr Blythe have moved from Rimu to Matai and Room 7.

So remember if you get the chance, take these opportunities when you can, you never know what will happen.
