School is open for students from 8.30 am.
Please note that students are not supervised before 8.30 am and are required to wait at the entrance gates until they are welcomed by a staff member.

Please ensure your child is at school on time so they are ready to start their learning session at 8.50am.

At all times, whānau are welcome to be in the school grounds

* Whānau are also welcome to pop into class to have a quick chat to a teacher if needed. As has always been our expectation though, if it is something that is important and needs privacy or time to discuss, please arrange a separate meeting with your child's teacher before or after school, at a more suitable time. 

During all breaks at least four staff members are rostered on duty, or as we call it "Wā Whanaungatanga". They wear a fluoro vest to be easily visible to children. 

*The 3:10pm clearing bell ensures that all children have left the grounds promptly as they will be unsupervised from this point. Staff are often in meetings here at school or offsite so are unavailable to offer support.

Please remember that we value our relationship with whānau and value our interactions with each other.
