New COVID-19 Protection (Traffic Light) FrameworkYou may have heard that everyone in Aotearoa will move to the new COVID-19 Traffic Light Framework on Friday 3 December. Canterbury will be moving to Orange. For next year, we can confirm that everyone will be back onsite for learning from the start of the school year, regardless of…

Yesterday several of you received a message that used the school’s parent email class-lists. This message was not sent out by the school and I apologise for it appearing to be official school communication. Class secretaries use the parent email lists to send out schoolwide and teacher notices and information. The lists are not intended…

I thought today I’d reshare parts of yesterday’s update with you and include the requirements for the Kindergarten in greater detail. The staff have had a great day getting prepared for the students. As I said yesterday, we’re all really excited to welcome the students back. As parents you can support us as we return…

Level 2 … you would think we’d all be quite used to this by now, as I think this is the 4th time we’ve been in Alert Level 2 in the last 18 months.  With that said, each time we change levels, there are some changes.  With that in mind I thought it would be…

I hope you’ve all managed to have a good weekend despite the weather.  It’s been really interesting seeing my neighbourhood full of people – usually all you see are cars leaving at 7am to commute to the city. I guess there’s an upside to every situation. It’s great news that we’re moving closer and closer…

Covid-19 Update: Level 4 Well, it’s not the news most of us wanted to hear (or maybe you’re loving bubble life in which case you’ve been granted a slight extension) but at least it sounds like we’re moving closer to normal. The decision to remain at Level 4 until 11.59pm Tuesday 31 August means that…

It looks like we’re going to remain in Level 4 for a little bit longer than we hoped.  At present the extension to 11.59pm Friday 27 August means that the school premises will remain closed until at least the end of the week.  We’ll all be watching with anticipation on Friday afternoon to see how…
