Kia ora e te whānau,
Like all schools in the region, we will be monitoring the weather overnight and will make a decision early tomorrow morning about whether the school will open for instruction. This decision will be made in consultation with the School Board.
If the school is required to close, we will notify you via Facebook and Skool Loop by 7.30am.
As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and any decision will be made with this in mind.
Thank you for your understanding.
Important reminder:
School Carpark: As our roll is growing, we need to make some changes to our drop off routines in order to keep everyone safe. We’ve made a great start with dropping children off at the gate, but we still continue to have people driving into the carpark and dropping their children off at the office, but worse, they park in the middle of the driveway or carpark so that no one can move in or out! This is primarily a staff carpark. The only parents who should be driving in will be people with children who have high needs, or new entrant students. Everyone else, please drop your children at Hillside Drive so they can walk the rest of the way into school. If your child is late, you may need to drop them at the office, but please do not park in the middle of the thoroughfare. If you do drive in, please be respectful of the mobility carpark which is reserved for people who have a mobility permit only. Thank you for your cooperation.
