Kia ora koutou ,Talofa lava, Malo e lelei.
We are all looking forward to welcoming all of our students and staff back at school on Monday following the return to Alert Level 2. Our health and safety plan is in place as it has been under every alert level, and you can be assured we’ll continue doing everything we can to keep children safe.
At home, please continue with good hand hygiene, cough and sneeze etiquette, appropriate physical distancing when out and about and keeping your child home if they are sick.. Let the school know please.
Face coverings are another way we can help keep ourselves and others safe. The Prime Minister has announced that face coverings will be required on public transport from next Monday, at Alert Level 2 and above.
This does not apply to any child who is under 12 years of age and does not apply to school transport.
Public Health officials have advised that children under the age of 6 should not wear face coverings.
Children and young people do not need to wear face coverings at school. Other public health control measures are in place including children and staff staying home if they are sick, contact tracing, and hygiene requirements.
Your child doesn’t need to wear a face covering but if they want to, that’s fine.
Bring a bottle for their own drink of water. We are not using our Fountains.
We’re continuing contact tracing by having QR code posters at our entrances, so please check in every time you come onsite.
See you all on Monday!

Thank you once more to our parents and caregivers for the support and resilience you have shown through Alert Level 3.
