Thanks everyone for coming along to the Kariaotahi School reunion on Saturday. It was a wonderful day with so many memories shared and, of course, the world premiere of "Kariaotahi School - the DVD".
Copies of this are available from Viv Lee at 092358418. In keeping with true Kariaotahi tradition, a bountiful shared lunch was enjoyed , musical items were provided by the Bulte family and a jolly good time was had by all.
Group photos will be sent after Easter to those who ordered them. Meanwhile, other photos and information will be added bit by bit from here on.
It was encouraging to have so many people support this project and offer their photos and other information.
Meanwhile, keep checking out this site for the latest updates.

Movie stars
We have a movie of Kariaotahi School in 1960, filmed by Noel Bulte, and recently transferred to DVD format. The movie stars Tony Turner (Principal), students and parents of Kariaotahi School, including a calfclub, a visit to Norman Douglas, a trip to the Museum in Auckland and a school picnic at the coast. There are also a number of photos taken from this blog, at the end of the movie.
We will be showing the DVD at the reunion, and it will be available for purchase at $10 a copy.

Welcome to the Kariaotahi Reunion Blog
Kariaotahi School Reunion 2011
Celebrating our school and collecting our stories
We are organising a Kariaotahi School Reunion on Saturday 16th April, 2011 at Kariaotahi School.
Our aim is to have an informal gathering over a shared lunch where past pupils can meet and have an opportunity for more of your stories to be collected to add to those already published in the 2001 reunion booklet.
With today’s modern technology, there are many more ways history can be recorded and preserved. We would like to extend that history by creating an internet site which could include facsimiles of paper records, e.g. photos, reports, exercise books, letters, calf club certificates or ribbons, flat sewing samples or anything else which could be photocopied. We could also video some of the “I remember when…” conversations and publish these with the participants’ permission.
It is so important that “our” Kariaotahi School history is preserved and accessible in the future.
Where: Kariaotahi School
When: Saturday 16th April 2011, 11:00am – 2:00pm approximately
Cost: $10 per person (pay on the day if easier)
Bring: Plate of food to share for lunch – finger food preferred
Your memories and your memorabilia
We will have a scanner/photocopier /photographer available on the day so we can take copies of your memorabilia and you can take them home again.
We would appreciate it if you could contact other past pupils you know to see if they know of this reunion and get them to contact us at: kariaotahireunion@gmail.com
