Confirmed COVID-19 Cases

16 May 2022

Kia ora Parents/Whānau

Today we have been notified of three cases of children who tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday and Friday of last week. One student is in the Kānuka/Kōwhai – Room 5/6 pod and the other two are in the Kohekohe/Nīkau – Room 1/2 pod. Both of these students had been self-isolating.

The health and wellbeing of our children, staff and community is a top priority so we are closely following the Ministry of Health guidance for schools.

At Phase 3 of the Omicron response, only cases and household contacts are legally required to isolate.

Please continue to follow good practices when it comes to your own health and the health of your whānau.

It is a timely reminder to be vigilant around monitoring for symptoms and adhering to all the health protocols in place.
