Kia ora e te Whānau,

We all want our children to have the best possible education and school experience. However, in the current climate, it's important to remember that the safety and health of our children, teachers, and wider community is of paramount importance. With the ongoing pandemic and other illnesses circulating, it's crucial that sick children are kept at home.

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and it is not uncommon for children to be avid users of various social media platforms. While social media can be a great way for children to connect with friends and family, share their thoughts and experiences, and explore their interests, it is important for parents to be aware of their child's safety when using these platforms.

What's coming up at Rāroa . . .
