From the Principal’s Desk

I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday.

School closes tomorrow at 3.00 p.m. and reopens Monday 20th July.

We would ask that if you are travelling overseas please monitor your family’s health on returning, and if there are even the slightest flu symptoms, do not send your children to school until checked by a doctor or alternatively check through the MOH Healthline 0800611116

Kia kaha,
