Uniform – All students must be in summer uniform from Tuesday 28th October. This means open-toed black sandals and a school hat. The hat must be worn to and from school each day and at every break time, as well as for any lessons that happen outside of class. The hats are available for purchase from the uniform shop and should be clearly named so it can be returned if misplaced. Thank you for your support to uphold our uniform expectations 🙂

Keeping our Kids Safe Online – tips on how to support the wellbeing of our tamariki 2-Minute Fridays Parenting Video!

Kia ora e te whānau, 

Here is this week’s 2 Minute Friday Parenting Video – 

How Our Children’s Strengths Become Online Weaknesses – another important message thanks to Rob Cope – please do not watch this with your children present, as it contains sex and pornography themes.

Our kids’ best traits — curiosity, empathy, and kindness — can make them vulnerable in the online world. The same curiosity that drives them to explore in real life can lead them into risky spaces online, and their empathy can be twisted or taken advantage of by people who know exactly how to exploit it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjchNY7dKOo
