WELCOME TO KAS karaka
Our Karaka programme has been open since 2019. We operate our programme out of the school hall and have full use of the kitchen facilities for food preparation and baking/cooking activities.
Karaka School has excellent school playgrounds and a large field that we also have access to during our operating hours.
Karaka School has a swimming pool that we are permitted to use during Terms 1 and 4. Permission slips are required to be filled in and signed if you would like your child to participate.
โ
โWe run a Holiday programme at our Karaka site.
