Accounts Email Issue

by Rangi Ruru Girls' School

We have been made aware of a problem where some people are not receiving email communications from the school. If this has been happening to you, please take a few minutes to review the tips below. We send out email communications regularly, so if you notice that you have not been receiving emails from us, it is important that you make us aware. Unfortunately this is a common issue with email communication, which is why for anything important we will always try to communicate with you via multiple channels (e.g. Facebook, the School App, and via the Website).

The Learning Centre

by Rebecca Meachen

It’s wonderful to see so many students accessing the Learning Centre again this year. The environment of the Learning Centre continues to reflect our belief that the space must be welcoming and will support the learning needs of the students. The recent acquisition of colourful bean bags has added to this sense of it being a supportive and comfortable place to work. We thank the Rangi Ruru PTA for supporting us in the purchase of the bags.
