We look forward to seeing our students tomorrow!
Kia ora whanau,
We’re looking forward to welcoming all our students and staff back at school tomorrow 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 oir young people safe.
At home, please continue with good hand hygiene, cough and sneeze etiquette, appropriate physical distancing when out and about and keeping your young person home if they are sick.
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 school transport. Please note students or teachers do not need to wear face coverings at school. Other public health control measures are in place including students and staff staying home if they are sick, contact tracing, and hygiene requirements. However, if a student or staff member does want to wear a mask, that’s fine. Individual choice will be respected!
We’re continuing contact tracing by having QR code posters at our entrances, so please check in if you come onsite.
If you haven’t already downloaded the NZ COVID Tracer app the Ministry of Health’s website has information to help you do that. We’ll also keep a visitor register for anyone who doesn’t have the app, and also for anyone who comes onsite for a period of time. This will help us with contact tracing in the unlikely case it is needed.
For more information about public health measures at Alert Level 2 you can visit the COVID-19 website, and if you have any questions about next week please get in touch.
I also encourage you to read the ASHS NCEA Information update (if you haven’t already) or you can watch the video here.

And as always, please remember:
Be kind.
Stay safe.
Stay home (until tomorrow at least).
We got this team!!
