Student management system - We are now only using the HERO system for all communication. Please contact the office if you require any information about this.

Medications -

If your child requires medication to be taken during the school day can you please come and complete a medicine authority form which is located in the office. Please do not just send medicine to school with your child - it must be administered by a member of staff and kept in the Hauora Room.

Bus vests and bus notices -

If your child/ren travels on the bus then please complete the bus form sent home and return it to the school office as soon as possible (paper copies are available from the office, if you need one). Thank you to those who have done so already. We do not carry over information from the previous year. Bus monitors will be selected and trained this Friday and all students traveling on the bus will receive bus education. Well done to the students who have remembered to wear their bus vest.

Dental -

If you have any concerns please call the clinic on 0800 846 983 to arrange an appointment.

Absences -

Please if your child is going to be absent, use the HERO App to notify the office or alternatively call - 3478448 and leave a message. If you know in advance that your child/ren are going to be absent for an extended time, then please complete the Absence form in the office. Community teachers have been asked to refer you to the office. 

Hats and Sunscreen - 

Please remember that all students are expected to wear their hats during Terms 1 and 4. Should they forget or misplace them, then they are asked to sit under the big tree during break times. Naming hats is essential! We do have sunscreen in each community, but it is always a good idea to put some on before leaving the house and for each child to have some in their bag for during the day.

Lunch Orders -

‘Subway Thursday’ lunch is up and running again this year. Orders must be placed before 9am on Thursday morning. Sushi is also available on Friday. Orders are due in before 9 am on this day. You are able to order from Ezylunch.

Kea Crossing/Car parking -

Thank you to the parents who are walking that extra wee bit and using the crossing. If you are parking in the shopping centre car park, please ONLY USE THE PARKS ON THE SCHOOL SIDE OF THE CAR PARK. The parks on the business side need to be available for customers and clients of the shops. Please respect this as it is fantastic that we are able to use them. Don’t forget that there are other entrances to the school that could be used also.  

Swimming -

We try to swim for as long as possible - although it is very much weather dependent. Could you please ensure that your child brings their togs every day. Again, naming togs, towels etc is essential. If your child is unable to swim, eg due to illness, then we ask that you notify the teacher (verbal, email, note) excusing them. Your child must not swim for two weeks after recovering from a gastro bug (sickness and / or diarrhoea).
