do not merely look out for your own interest, but also for the interests of others.” 

  Philippians 2: 4(NASB)

On Thursday Sept. 9th we reopen for learning at Level 2, and we are looking forward to welcoming back our students. We realise that some of you may be anxious about this return, however we will be doing all we can to provide appropriate safety measures at school. Please remind your children about expected hygiene around hand washing/drying/sanitising, and appropriate use of the elbow if they feel a cough coming on.

If your child is sick please do not bring them to school, as you will be contacted to organise to get them home immediately. 

The Government’s recommendation is that masks may be worn in schools from 12yrs up, but are not required. This is a personal choice, for you, your children, and our staff, and we respect individual decisions on this. 

Please ensure all Chromebooks are returned to school on Thursday. 

Following are the features of Level 2 at school: 

Property:

 

  • Carpark is a stop, drop and go zone. Please stay in your car

 

    • No visiting classrooms

    • Whare/office – scan/sign in, 2m spacing, mask worn please

 

  • After school students wait at ‘PE container’ end of carpark, if not raining. Parents, please do not pick up until you are well into our safe zone alongside the Whare. We do not want children moving across the carpark at this time.
