Morena As you will be aware the Government has removed the COVID-19 Protection Framework. Thank you all for your support during the time that we have had to put restrictions in place. It has been much appreciated. Household contacts, including those who have not had COVID-19 in the past 90 days, do not need to isolate for seven days. Household contacts are recommended to test daily for five days from when the case in their household tests positive and wear a mask when they are out. If they subsequently test positive, they will be considered a ‘case’ and be required to complete seven days of isolation. QUEEN'S MEMORIAL DAY New Zealand will mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II with a one-off public holiday on Monday 26 September 2022. This means that all state and state-integrated schools and kura will be closed on this day. HATS We are a sun-smart accredited school, therefore navy wide brimmed hats are compulsory in Term 1 and Term 4.
