School will open on Monday 18th of May

You will have heard that NZ will be going into Alert Level 2 from Thursday 14th MAY and that schools will open for ALL students and staff from Monday 18th May. 

All students and staff will be back, however, if your child is sick, they will be marked absent as normal and they will be required to stay home.

What will Alert Level 2 look like for us as a school?

• Each space in the school has hand sanitisers and disinfectant for regular cleaning, including hand soap for hand washing in classrooms.
• There is enough space for students to remain distant from each other
• Our students, whanau and visitors use good hygiene practices by:
• Coughing and sneezing into their elbows and not touching their faces
• Washing hands regularly especially before and after break times
• Staying home if they are unwell

Our school will be following strict guidelines set out by the Ministry of Health at all times.

What will Alert Level 2 mean for our families?

The school will ensure safe and strong hygiene practices are adhered to by students, staff, parents and visitors and there are systems in place to ensure this is done. We have to date had:

• Entrance ways to classrooms sanitised by Chemwash
• Each learning space including Resource Rooms, Library, meeting rooms and classrooms having sanitisers and disinfectants available for use
• Classroom furniture and spaces have been wiped down with disinfectant prior to entry of students and prior to exit during the day. Staff understand regular cleaning of high use surfaces is and will be needed.
