Kia Ora whaanau,
This is a friendly reminder that school finishes at 2:30pm sharp. We have noticed a few students waiting much longer in the afternoons. Please note the After School Care programme is for registered children only. If we have to leave your child in after school care due to a late pick up, an invoice will be generated and you will be charged for the service.
Thank you for your understanding. Our staff should be able to leave accordingly in the afternoons to get to their families as well, so we appreciate your support and understanding to please pick your children up at 2:30pm each day.
If you have any issues with this please come and talk to me directly.
Ngaa mihi,
Adam
Parents, please support our local businesses
