Weekly Notices - Term 1 Week 8

 Welcome to Week 8 of a very unique first term 2022. We hope all those families affected by covid-19 are holding up well and the children and caregivers who have contracted it recover quickly. We are all praying for you in class. Children are now returning to school from isolation mostly reporting only mild symptoms. We are one of the least affected schools in Rotorua, last week our roll was still at 75% with only a couple of teachers affected. Many schools in Rotorua have temporarily closed.  We continue to follow strict Omicron protocols at school to ensure that we have as little spread as is possible, including:

• Good ventilation in classrooms and any place that children and staff are 

• Sanitising when we enter school and buildings

• Cleaning surfaces in classrooms during the day

• Social distancing where practicable

Mrs Dobson and Mrs Mines are busy in their role as DRSs. Thanks to them for organising the Bread and Water Morning Tea last week when the children were asked to think of those around the world who only have bread and water to eat every day, and also for the St Joseph’s Liturgy. This week on Friday we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. The liturgies will be run in classrooms.

Coming up this week: 

• No swimming this week for Middle School, Kahikatea.
• Wednesday - Library. 
  
• Friday - Feast of the Annunciation Liturgy in classes.
• Roller Skating at lunchtime on Friday

Have a great week.

Lorette Tiedt and

Team Kahikatea
