Influenza A is present in the school, it is very contagious. Today we have 25% of our pupils absent. Here is a list of the symptoms from the Ministry of Health. You may not experience all of these symptoms at once, everyone’s body experiences it differently.  Temperature, aches in muscles and joints, headaches, cough, sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, exhaustion, very low energy, upset stomach, vomiting or Diarrhea.

If you have the flu, you’re contagious for five days after your symptoms begin. In more severe cases, you could be contagious for even longer. If your child has any combination of these symptoms, please keep them home.

Kia ora parents and caregivers, 

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our film screenings this week. We were thrilled to see so many families and members of our school community come along to support the students and enjoy the film together.

We have had lots of requests for a digital copy of our film, so we are pleased to offer a downloadable version for $5.00.

If you would like to purchase a copy, please place your order through Kindo. When ordering, you will need to provide the email address you would like the download link sent to.

Once orders have closed, we will email the download link to the address provided. This will be in 3 weeks time on Friday 28th August.

Thank you for your continued support. We hope those who attended the screenings enjoy revisiting the film, and those who missed out enjoy watching it for the first time at home.
