• Today and tomorrow our teachers will be making contact with whanau through our main communication channels – Newsletter, Website, Facebook Page, Emails, Texts and where needed, Phone Calls.
• Teachers are now ensuring the learning material is available to students online in the format they are used to – this is mainly the Google Classroom and Class Websites.

ATTENDANCE KAIKOHE CAMPUS:

Kia ora whanau this past week our attendance has dropped dramatically from 90% to 76%.

• Nine students recorded 60%, five students 50%, eight students 40%, three students 30%, one student 20%, and one non attendance.
• It is imperative that our tamariki develop good habits of attending school otherwise as they get older they will eventually drop out before their time.

With us doing our part and you parents doing your part- the school will thrive.
