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€‹

โ€‹We run a Holiday programme at our Karaka site.

Pukekohe is my hometown after moving back to the area after living away for many years. I love working with children and families. In my spare time I enjoy a good coffee spending time with my daughter and a walk on the beach and catching a good sunset.
