Absences

Kia ora whanau,

We would like to let you know that we are beginning to see a rise in Covid cases in middle and senior school. We currently have 6 families in isolation. This in on top of our whanau who have children with coughs, colds and flu.

Today we are sitting with 18% of our kura away.

We ask that you continue to be vigilant and if your child is unwell please keep them at home. If your child is away from school, can you please let the office know either via the school app or phoning the office. We are spending quite a bit of time in the mornings having to follow up with families.

I would also like to thank the amazing staff of the school, who are keeping things running as normally as possible. I encourage you to take the time to thank your child’s teacher and school staff as they do a lot behind the scenes to ensure that we are able to keep classes and learning happening across the school. We are truly blessed to have these people as part of our school.

Please continue to  look after one another and check in on people to see how they are doing and if they need anything. If you know of a family who might need a little more extra support, please let Mrs Shanks know.

We are keeping you all in our prayers and wishing you all a speedy recovery.

God Bless.

Tummy Bug

Thu May 19 11:59am

Kia ora whanau,

Please be aware that we have a gastro bug making its way through the school at the moment. This bug comes on quite fast with vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramps and possibly a fever.

The best treatment is to drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration and careful handwashing is the most important way to prevent the spread of bug.

As gastro bugs spread very easily, we ask that you please keep your sick child at home until 48 hours without vomiting and diarrhoea as per recommended guidelines.
