Welcome Back!
WELCOME BACK!
We look forward to welcoming back students from next week. Please see start dates.
An important email was sent home this afternoon (Friday) about Admin Day. Parents/Caregivers are asked to make appointments with their child’s Learning Advisor via instructions on the email. Returning students will meet their Learning Advisor via a GoogleMEET appointment on Admin Day. Only Year 7 students, and other new students, can make appointments to meet in person at school.

Omicron update
Senior Leaders are working towards welcoming everyone back next week with a focus on “connection” particularly with our newly enrolled students.
An email will be sent later this week giving more information about the start of school following the “Red traffic light” settings announced yesterday.
Plans are already in place to ensure that students and staff will be safe and we encourage parents to consider Ministry of Health advice about getting their children vaccinated ahead of school opening.
