Email contact of all staff
Updates from the Ministry of Education
Google Apps- Gmail/Docs/Calendar as well as Google Classroom and Google Meet
Mana page showcasing excellence in all its forms.
Please use this as the go to page for information relating to Te Kūiti High School during this time of distance learning.
Kia haumaru!
The school holidays have been brought forward. Holidays will now run from Monday 30 March to Tuesday 14 April inclusive (a reminder that the Tuesday after Easter Monday is always a closed day for schools). This applies to all NZ schools.
At the end of the school holidays, schools will be open again for distance learning, but not physically open for staff to work at the schools.
Please note the instruction to stay home (Alert Level 4) will continue beyond the new school holiday period but schools will be technically open for distance instruction.
Students will be able to log in to the Google online platform they use in a range of subjects at Te Kūiti High School, as well as contact their teachers via email.
If you have any queries or questions below is a list of teacher email addresses.
