School Sores – currently spreading at Nawton School

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We wanted to reach out and let you know that we have noticed a significant number of students presenting with School Sores, also known as Impetigo. This is a common skin infection that can easily spread from one child to another, especially in close contact situations.

We kindly ask that if your child develops any symptoms of School Sores, such as red sores that develop into blisters, it is important to keep them home from school and seek medical advice from your doctor. This will help prevent the infection from spreading to other children.

To learn more about how to treat and seek help for School Sores, we recommend visiting this link: https://www.kidshealth.org.nz/how-treat-when-seek-help-school-sores

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy and safe.

REMINDER: SCHOOL IS CLOSED TOMORROW 16 MARCH

REMINDER SCHOOL IS CLOSED TOMORROW, 16 March due to the Teachers and Principals Strike. Please do not send your children to school. School will resume on Friday 17 March as normal.

Newsletter 15 March 2023

The Teacher and Principal Strike is scheduled for Thursday 16 March 2023.

13 March 2023

Dear Parents and Caregivers Industrial Action – NZEI Strike on 16 March 2023. 

The NZEI has advised Nawton School that its member principal and teachers at our school will be taking strike action on 16 March 2023. The Board has carefully considered the availability of non-union teaching staff, and unfortunately decided that we can’t provide normal instruction during the strike so the school will officially be closed for instruction on the day of the strike.

Accordingly, it’s important that you make alternative arrangements for the care of your child/children under 14 years of age during the period of the strike as no supervision can be provided. 

If making alternative arrangements for care is difficult, we can still supervise a small number of students if required.

We know that this is inconvenient for parents and students alike. Please be assured that student safety is our main concern.   Thank you for your understanding. Please contact Hone-Haunui Rapana, Presiding Member on office@nawton.school.nz if you have any queries relating to this decision.  

If you would like to be considered for care for your child on Thursday 16 March, you MUST complete the Google form by NO LATER than 9.30am on Wednesday 15 March 2023.

Click here to complete the Google form.

Yours sincerely,

Hone Haunui- Rapana, Board Presiding Member, Nawton School Board

Nawton School will only be open half a day on  WEDNESDAY 1 March 2023 due to a Teacher Union Meeting. Students will go home at 12.30pm. 

Reo Rua Camp – ending today, please collect students from 2.30pm onwards

Kia ora e te whaanau,

Unfortunately due to the suspected quality of drinking water at Karakariki camp Reorua senior students will need to return early. In the interim the school has taken steps to ensure the health of our tamariki by providing bottled water for drinking, teeth brushing and paper plates, utensils to avoid dishwashing. All Reorua classes attending camp will return to Nawton school by 3pm Tuesday 21 February. We are disappointed by this outcome but students health is paramount. Parents can collect camp students with their gear from classes from 2.30pm onwards.
