Please consider keeping your children at home tomorrow if you are able.  Our school will remain open, but due to more than 1/2 of our teachers being away sick, we will be unable to operate the school as normal.

Today, Monday 10th we have 4 of our 8 teachers away sick and have managed to keep the school open.
However, tomorrow Tuesday 11th we will have 6 of 8 teachers away.
Our 2 remaining teachers will be supported by up to 2 relievers and our Teaching Assistants to provide an alternative programme should you need to send your children to school.

You have my sincerest apologies for this disruption and I want to thank you for your support.

Term 3 is starting with a lot going on, so we thought we would try something new and make a Term 3 Fridge calendar.

Your child will bring home a hard copy today, but we thought we would share it digitally as well.

Events in Red may affect you significantly, such as school opening hours, or may require written permission.  All of these will have more details coming home soon or already have such as Te Kiwa Nui.

We will not be celebrating Cook Island Language week in our normal way, but instead treat our Te Kiwa Nui performance as the community performance.

Kia ora,
Scabies is currently an increasing public health concern across the Greater Wellington region. 

What is Scabies?
Scabies is a very itchy rash caused by a tiny mite that burrows under your skin.
It’s easily spread between people and won't go away without treatment.
Everyone in your household should be treated at the same time, and you’ll also need to clean all used bedding and clothing. 

Treatment is Free at Waitangirua and Cannons Creek Pharmacies for:
Community Services Card holders
Children under 14 years
Adults aged 65 years and over
Prescription Subsidy Card holders
$5 per person for all others

Apologies whanau.

Our servers are down so we have no access online and this also means our phones aren't working. A technician is on their way. 

A reminder to return the te kiwa nui permission form and a white t-shirt today please.
