Kia ora parents / whanau

As winter sets in, we are currently experiencing a high number of staff absences due to the seasonal flu. The shortage of available relief teachers across the region is making coverage particularly challenging at the moment.

To ensure all students remain safe and supported, we are occasionally having to split affected classes among other year-level classrooms for the day. This is helped somewhat by a number of students being away from school as well, which keeps the number of students in these combined classes lower. Please be assured that our team is working exceptionally hard to keep disruptions to learning as minimal as possible and to maintain normal school routines.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this brief stretch. If your child is showing any flu-like symptoms, keeping them home to rest will help us limit the spread and get everyone back to full strength sooner.
