Sickness and Absence

Kia ora koutou

With the onset of winter we are seeing a significant impact of sickness on the whole school community. We have a much reduced roll every day as more children and staff are suffering from the effects of a range of winter ailments. As expected, I think, this may be the result of the past two years of response to Covid?

We wanted to let you know that we are doing what we can to ensure the school is running as close to normal on a day to day basis. We remain committed to this environment remaining calm, safe and settled for the children. I would like to thank all our staff who are holding things together under difficult conditions.

Thank you also to parents and whānau who are keeping sick children at home, we know this may be placing extreme pressure on your own commitments to work and otherwise.

For you at home who need a little learning support from us our school website has a link to a range of resources that students can use, https://www.boi.ac.nz/home-learning. If we can be of any more help or you have questions or concerns please don't hesitate to be in touch with your classroom teacher, Toni in the office or myself.
