Measles in Auckland Schools
As you will be aware, there is currently an outbreak of Measles, which is being managed in our area by the Auckland Regional Public Health Service.
According to the ARPHS, the best way to prevent getting measles is to have the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccination. It is not too late to get at least one vaccination. This is free to anyone under 50 years old – although there may be a small administration fee at your GP.
As requested, recently we have been updating our immunisation register. Please, if the immunisation status of your child changes, let the office know.
If there is a measles case at our school, unvaccinated children will be asked to stay at home, as per the Auckland Regional Public Health Service Guidelines.
Any questions please feel free to contact us or visit the Auckland Regional Public Health Service www.arphs.health.nz
Ten Year Bike Track
Much of our fundraising over the past few years has been working towards providing something special for our kids to enjoy, and mark our 10 Year Celebrations. We are delighted to announce that next term we will be starting construction on a bike track around the perimeter of our field. Our kids love using their “wheels” at lunchtime, and we would like to create more opportunities for kids to use their bikes. The track will be sealed for use by scooters and skateboards also. Exciting!! We will have to wait for our field to dry out enough to allow diggers access…….watch this space!
A huge thank you to Masons for supporting the school to achieve this as well as:
Puriri 1 and 2 Maritime Museum Trip
Pūriri 1 and 2 enjoyed a fantastic day at the Maritime Museum this week as part of their inquiry into our maritime history. A highlight was a trip up the Waitemata harbour on the replica scow, the Ted Ashby. Students also enjoyed exploring the museum with its wide array of of models and replica craft of all sizes and designs, as well as learning about voyaging across the Pacific, navigation, shipwrecks, what ship life was like for those migrating from the UK, and much more. We also wandered along to the Wynyard Quarter and the Team New Zealand base. Huge thanks to all the parents who transported and supervised our students on the day; we are extremely grateful. And thank you to Mrs Williamson and Mr Chapman for their organisation and effort in making this happen.
