Blue Mountain Exchange
On Tuesday, 25th,June 80 students plus staff and supporters travelled to Tapanui for the annual Blue Mountain Exchange. We left Milton in rain but Tapanui was cool and clear for a day of rugby, netball, basketball, golf and chess. There were some close contests but Blue Mountain came out the winner of the exchange. The students enjoyed the exchange as it was unable to be held last year and Blue Mountain College were great hosts. Thanks to Brendon Potae, Joe Herbert, Craig Lister and Jeremy Coleman for help with the rugby teams, the staff that attended and the many parents who came along to support.
Student Attendance
Every day counts towards your child’s learning at school. Attending school gives your child the best opportunity to realise their full potential and do well in life.
Is my child well enough to go to school? We know that going to school every day is important for all students. But as a parent or caregiver, it can be difficult deciding if your child is well enough to attend school. My child has mild symptoms that are unlikely to be infectious. Should they attend school? If your child tests negative for COVID-19 and they do not have any of the symptoms of concern outlined below, there are some mild symptoms that could be caused by a condition or reaction rather than an infectious illness that mean it is okay for your child to still be at school. Examples include a happy energised child who has mild respiratory symptoms (cough, headache or runny nose) with no fever, their usual hay fever and allergy symptoms (sneezing, stuffy nose or an itchy face), or skin problems that are not infectious, such as eczema or insect bites. If your child has any of these mild symptoms but is well enough to go to school, support them to go and let their teacher know.
