Welcome back to parents and whānau returning on-site and we respectfully request the following actions:

• Learners and whānau on-site from 8.30am [please wait by Te Kete Kākano and Te Pa Harakeke if arriving before then]
• If parents and whānau are entering learning studios please wear masks and leave before the music plays by 8.55am, similarly please do not enter studios before the 3.00pm music plays
• Please do not collect your child from school early unless through prior arrangement with myself, or for a rare special appointment

Important Safety Messages to Keep our Children and Community Safe

• Please ensure your child does not come to school if unwell
• Mask use is recommended for all learners inside, particularly our seniors
• Please ensure your child wears a safety vest or has a fluro bag cover to and from school including when travelling by car
• Please use our pedestrian crossing in the parent carpark
• Please use our patrolled crossing on Dunn's Crossing Rd - remember adults model behaviour and expectations for our learners
• Please do not park on yellow lines - this reduces visibility for our learners on road patrol and is unsafe
• Please observe our kiss and go spaces and move to the front of the queue accordingly

THANK YOU for your support with this.
