Week 6 (March 6-10)

Ka mate te kāinga tahi, ka ora te kāinga rua

When one house dies, a second lives

A Word from Natasha

He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa,

Recently we received feedback and concern from families regarding our uniform. In particular, the quality and how see through the white shirts are. We have been in touch with NZ Uniforms to discuss this matter. As a result of our feedback NZ Uniforms have undertaken the manufacturing of a new white material. This is a lot thicker and under pressure/friction should not pill. Our shirts are all being remade in the new material. For those that purchased white shirts these will be replaced (you will be given a new shirt). I am very happy that NZ Uniforms recognised that the garment was not up to standard and are working to rectify this. As soon as the new shirts arrive I will work with NZ Uniforms to arrange a quick and easy way for families to receive their garment/s.

As we head into the middle of the term I want students to be considering what other activities they want to participate in their wider school life. This could include joining a sports team, the school production or a school band, are just a few of examples. I want to ensure that our students engage in as many opportunities as they can here at Rototuna High Schools. Their participation in such activities not only helps them grow and develop their interpersonal skills, but also demonstrates a willingness to be involved and contribute - often key skills that businesses, universities and future employers seek in candidates. Our students only have three years at the Senior High School so I encourage them to make the most of every opportunity that school can offer them. If your child feels that we do not offer something that they are interested in, please encourage them to come and see us as we would love to support our students interests if we can.

Blanket Level 1 & 2
EOTC Consent

(EOTC) Education outside the classroom often occurs at Rototuna High Schools, with each activity having it’s own level of risk.

A Blanket Consent Form allows the school to include the immediate community environment in their teaching and learning programme. When students are being taken off site beyond the immediate community, notification of these events will be in advance of the activity taking place.

We require all our families to complete the blanket consent form which has been emailed to the primary caregiver of students that had not completed one at time of enrolment.

If you have NOT submitted the form we have included the link here.

Sickness & Injuries

We have an increasing number of students who are contacting their parents/caregivers to be collected from school if they're not feeling well or have an injury. 

Please be aware that the correct process is for the student to contact their teacher they are with at the time, and if necessary they will be referred to Student Services.  During morning tea or lunchtime your son or daughter may self-present to Student Services.

They will be assessed and, if necessary, a call will then be made to parents/caregivers.  All students must follow this process.  If your son or daughter contact you directly please ask them to follow the above process. Your co-operation is much appreciated.
