Dear Parents,

To keep all our SLRS tamariki safe today we have a special sign out system … 

If you are signing your children out early today please:

1. Go to our school office 
2. Mandy will give you a permission slip 
3. Take the permission slip with you to your child’s classroom teacher.
4. The teacher will release your child when they receive the office sign out slip from you.

If you have signed your child out, please keep them with you for the remainder of the day.  Our preference is

 that all kids stay with their classes today as this helps us keep everyone safe.  

If your child is signed out by you it will be to go home.

Our tamariki need to stay with their classroom teacher all day as this is a school event not a community one.  So we need your support to keep all our precious tamariki safe.

It's going to be a fabulous day.

Ngā mihi,

Sharon Fuemana

Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

We have been informed of a recent incident in which a student at a local school was approached by a stranger on their way home.

The NZ Police were notified, and a formal report was filed.

The safety and wellbeing of our students is our absolute priority. Teachers have been reinforcing the following safety advice from the NZ Police, and we ask that you take a moment to discuss these points at home as well:

Travel together: Walk with a friend or group whenever possible.
Stick to safe routes: Use main roads and well-lit areas; avoid shortcuts through alleyways, parks, or isolated spots.
Stay alert: Keep eyes and ears open (limit headphone use) and trust your instincts if something feels off.
Keep phones ready: Ensure phones are charged and easily accessible to contact an adult if needed.
Speak up immediately: Contact a trusted adult, school staff, or police right away if feeling unsafe or if something concerning occurs.
If your child notices anything unusual or if you have specific concerns, please contact the school or the police. For non-urgent information, you can contact the Police on 105. In an emergency, call 111 immediately.

Ngā manaakitanga
