Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa – warm greetings to everyone
Health and Safety:
Following the tragic events in New Zealand last Friday, we are making sure that all of our procedures are up to scratch in the event of an emergency. This Thursday we will be having a lockdown practice. You will get communication about this via letter today, email/facebook/school app tomorrow as the lockdown practice happens. It is very important to note that during a lockdown (even a practice) no-one will be allowed in or out of the buildings. This is important for the safety of all.
We will then have another lockdown next week at a break time to practice what to do when we are out of the classroom.
Kia Kaha Christchurch:
Our condolences are with the families who have lost loved ones, our aroha goes to those who are still recovering and our thoughts and well wishes are with all those living in Christchurch.
It is important that your children/our students are supported in the best possible way that we, parents and educators, can provide. The following is a bulletin the Ministry of Education have provided to support us with this.
Let’s continue to live by our REPS (Respectful, Engaged, Positive, Striving) and love/support each other regardless of differences. This week we are having a RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) week to show our love and support for each other.
Kia kaha Aotearoa-New Zealand.
