Kia ora koutou Thank you everyone for being so supportive this week as we grappled with level 2 again. We have rescheduled the meet the teacher meetings for March 2nd and 3rd (Tuesday and Wednesday).

It was great news to hear we are moving to Alert Level 1 so quickly. While new cases in the community are always disappointing to hear of, it is reassuring to see how quickly they have been identified. I am sure we are all grateful for the efforts of our health workers, scientists and technicians in this regard, and the thousands of people who have been tested.

As a community we need to avoid the complacency which New Zealanders tend to quickly move into when we are at lower alert levels. Please do continue to scan QR codes and monitor closely for illness within your whānau.

Our focus as always will be to support the learning, safety and wellbeing of our rangatahi and tamariki and we continue to be here to support you too.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s kaiako or me, if there is something you need assistance with.

All the best for a lovely weekend and we are looking forward to having nice weather next week for Kauri’s EOTC adventures.
