Daffodil Day Fundraiser A big thank you to the students and whanau for making the Daffodil Day fundraiser a great success! There was a sea of yellow and bunches of daffodils dotted around, and we managed to raise over $280 for the Cancer Society. Great effort!! Left: Year 11 students Marcus and Ryan support the cause in their banana costumes.

Student Attendance
One of the things we are continuing to focus on this term is student attendance. We will be monitoring student attendance carefully and contacting caregivers if we have concerns. All students are legally required to attend school every day and it is a shared responsibility to make sure students attend and engage in learning from when they first start school. We ask that you let the school know if your child is going to be absent or intends to be absent for a portion of the school term for whatever reason, like a tangi or medical procedure. Family holidays or taking time off for extracurricular activities (not organised by school) are not acceptable reasons for being absent. We know that winter has certainly brought its cold mornings and a host of winter bugs and colds. Knowing if your child is well enough to go to school can be tricky at times. Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora have refreshed their guidance for schools and parents to use to help make that call. Check out the Ministry of Education or Te Whata Ora websites for more information. If you are still unsure, get in touch with us. https://info.health.nz/pregnancy-children/childhoodconditions/ https://parents.education.govt.nz/essential-information/
