Supporting others is an important part of our school culture, and we encourage participation in events that raise awareness for important causes such as cancer research or the rescue helicopter service. These days provide an opportunity for students to learn about real-world challenges and how they can make a difference. Taking part aligns with our KAURI values—showing Kindness by thinking of others, Accountability by taking action to help, Unity by working together as a school, Respect by acknowledging the efforts of those who support our communities, and Integrity by standing up for what is right. By participating, students not only contribute to a worthy cause but also develop empathy, responsibility, and a sense of connection to the wider world.
