Kia ora whānau,

As part of our regular water quality testing for the school pool, a routine sample identified the presence of a common environmental water bacteria.

While this type of bacteria is commonly found in natural water environments and usually poses low risk to healthy individuals, we take the health and safety of our students very seriously. As a precaution, the pool will be temporarily closed while we carry out a full treatment and cleaning process.

This includes:

shock chlorination

deep cleaning of all surfaces

filter system servicing

follow-up water testing

The pool will reopen once testing confirms the water meets all Ministry of Health safety standards.

We appreciate your understanding while we complete this process and ensure the pool remains safe and hygienic for all tamariki.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school office.

Ngā mihi,
Sam Gibbens

Kia Ora,  

This is a reminder that Waitangi Day is tomorrow; therefore, the school will be closed.  

Enjoy the long weekend.  

Nga Mihi Nui.
