Principal's Patch<\/h2>

Kia ora koutou<\/h3><\/div>
Reminder: School will be Closed next Friday - Canterbury Anniversary Day<\/b><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
We were grateful for the fine weather today that enabled us to have our Celebration Assembly outside. The children have quickly adapted to the outside assemblies and we enjoyed sharing in the successes of a number of our students. A large number of Citizen of the Week certificates were given out, most from last term when we hadn't had assemblies. Strong themes that ran through the awards were kindness, respect, and being committed to doing their best. Congratulations to all!<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
<\/a><\/div>
We also celebrated the success of some of our Year 8 students who received Gold Kete Badges and Academic Cups. Photos of these will be shared next week.<\/span><\/div>

Vaccination Update<\/span><\/h3>
As you know, by 16th November, all adults who work or volunteer in any capacity on a school site in New Zealand, when children are present, must be vaccinated with at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. We are well underway with gathering this information from our staff, and we appreciate the support of wh\u0101nau involved who have also provided us with their vaccination details. This information is kept in a confidential register.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
This week we have been advised by the Ministry of Education that we are also required to keep a register of COVID vaccination information for eligible students - ie, those aged 12 and over. <\/span><\/div>
Next week Jacky will be emailing out a vaccine survey to wh\u0101nau of all our eligible students requesting their vaccination information. Please be clear that there is NO suggestion that students must be vaccinated to attend school. The Ministries of Education and Health are wanting this information collected in the event that we have cases at school. <\/div>
