What to do if you have a concern

Usually, your child's whanau teacher is the first contact for most matters as they see your child regularly.

PASTORAL OR ACADEMIC:

Depending on the outcome of the discussion, you may wish to contact your child's year group Kaitiaki (for pastoral matters) or subject teacher (for academic matters):
