There are lots of colds, flus and winter bugs around at the moment. We appreciate your support in responding to symptoms and keeping your child/ren at home until they are well enough to return to school. In this way we are supporting the health of our teachers and other class members, and minimising the spread of the winter bugs. Thank you again for your support.

This week – NZ Digital Harms Survey
Something different this week — we need your help!
We’ve launched The Great NZ Digital Harms Survey to paint a clear, honest picture of what our tamariki and rangatahi are facing online.
What did you see online growing up?
What have your kids been exposed to?
What are you seeing on the frontlines?
Your voice matters. Let’s make sure the right people hear it. Take the survey. Share it wide. Help protect our kids. https://www.ourkidsonline.info/nzdigitalharmssurvey
