Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,
Welcome back to the beginning of the new school term. I trust that you all had an enjoyable time with your whānau over the Easter Break, and that the tamariki are well-rested, recharged, and ready to get stuck back into their learning.
Please be aware that Whaea Wendy is away on sick leave this week. We will be combining Rooms 2 and 3 for the week with Whaea Erin and Mireka.
Government Fuel Response Update
There are four phases in this plan, and New Zealand is at Phase 1, “Watchful”. This means the fuel market is operating effectively and fuel is available nationwide. On-site learning and attendance remain our top priority – as they will at any phase in the plan. Your child, therefore, needs to continue to attend school regularly. We are currently planning for Phase 2 and will keep you updated if anything needs to change for our school operations. See the attached fact sheet for further information.
Upcoming dates for next week:
Monday 27th April - ANZAC Day
The school is closed for instruction to observe this national day of remembrance.
Wednesday 29th April - Teachers Only Day - School Closed
Teaching and learning support staff are attending a MOE Mathematics Professional Development Day at Palmerston School for the day.
Kia pai te wiki - Have a great week!
