Dear Parents and Caregivers

We continue to want all of our community to be safe. We have navigated the last two weeks since our last letter. As you will know, the Government announced that at 6.00am today the whole of Auckland is to move into Alert Level 3 for the next 7 days.

This time around the tracing has been a lot closer to our homes and I know that this can/has caused concern. As a school we uphold all of the Ministry of Health guidelines. In accordance with this, the current Alert level 3 advice as of today is:
You must work from home unless you are not able to and all children should learn from home where possible. Stay home to avoid any unnecessary spread.

We will be open for those children whose parents/whanau must go to work and there is absolutely no other option but to send your child/ren to school. Please exhaust all options to ensure our children can be safe.

If this is your child, please email Paul Harder at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let us know which day or days your child will be attending school this week.

As before in Alert Level 3 please meet one of our senior management team at the front gate and we will walk them to the library. Please do this from 8.45am and we will walk your child/ren back up to the front gate at 2.30pm.

Our teachers will be activating their distance learning plans as of tomorrow morning. We understand that you have varied situations at home to organise and cope with. Our teachers also have children at home while connecting with and supporting your child in their learning. This is a time where we need to be kind and considerate of each other as we learn to navigate this next week.

There will be no school events or trips this coming week. Our acknowledgement goes out to the parents who have given up their time for the oncoming week to be at year 6 camp. We appreciate this as we know how much work the year 6 teachers and Mr Harder have put into this. We will explore options to see what is available in the future.

If your child has left their device at school. You may come to the office on Monday morning from 9.15am to 11.00am and we will endeavour to collect it and give it back to you.

If you do not have any device at home, please contact Hayley at this email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Please look after yourselves and your family. Adhering to the rules and guidelines means we will get through this.

Kia Kaha. Ngā mihi
