We hope that you are keeping warm on these extremely cold days we are having at the moment. It is very clear the cold and flu season is definitely here and taking hold of the tamariki.

Today we have 22% of the kura away due to illness. The school is continuing to operate as normal. If absences do continue to increase, please allow for some disruption from normal classroom routines and processes.

We ask that you continue to be vigilant and maintain good hygiene practices, if possible please wear a mask when on site. If your child does have cold and flu systems, please keep them at home.

Winter has arrived in abundance. Today we have 16% of our school roll away with illness. We continue to ask you to keep your child(ren) home if they are unwell. This includes if your child(ren) have fevers, aches, pains, coughs, colds, runny noses etc. If your child has a gastro bug we ask that they stay away from school for two days (48 hours) after the symptoms have gone away. 

For those of you who are home unwell, we continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Stay dry and warm, it’s cold out.

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.

Covid-19 Update

Thu Apr 07 09:25am

Morena whanau,

As the end of term draws near, we see ourselves facing a second wave of Covid-19 hitting the kura. Over the week we have seen our numbers rise dramatically among our families. We have currently 16 cases, which is the highest we have ever had.

We are now also experiencing members of families, who are having to isolate for a second time due to being after the 10 days isolation period if the did not catch Covid the first time. If you are unsure of who needs to isolate and when you are required to isolate, please do not hesitate to give me a call, or check with the Ministry of Health.

We ask that you continue to be extremely vigilant in monitoring your child/ren for symptoms and maintain good hygiene practices. It is also hard at this time as there is also the winter colds and flu beginning to set in.

If someone in your whanau tests positive or is a household contact, please continue to let myself know so were are able to accurately track absences. While in isolation if your child/ren test positive, please let us know, as this effects their isolation period and return to school date.

Due to the end of term being next week and our numbers increasing, we will continue to keep with our current safety precautions and continue to ask that if you are onsite please wear a mask.

God Bless.

Mrs Shanks
