The government has announced all students over 12 are to wear masks on school transport, including SESTA. Students under 12 are to be encouraged to wear them also.

We understand many of our students will not wear masks. 

Whānau/ families/ carers can request an exemption card for face coverings if students cannot wear a face covering. They can show their exemption card when needed.

You can request a card from:
