Dear parents and caregivers

Last night the School Board made the decision to strongly recommend the continued wearing of masks for Year 4 + students.

We ask that every Year 4 + student continue to bring a mask to school every day. There may be times that they will be required to wear them. Some staff may ask students to wear a mask and we ask that everyone respects their wishes. 

Masks will be compulsory for gatherings of 100 or more people. 

Parents are also encouraged to wear a mask when coming onto the school grounds, but all other visitors will be required to wear a mask. 

We will continue to keep other health measures in place at school that we know slow the spread of COVID-19. These include ensuring our indoor spaces are well-ventilated, maintaining good hand hygiene and cough and sneeze etiquette, appropriate physical distancing whenever we can and, most importantly, staying home if we are sick.

Ngā mihi
