Our Families

All children are required to undergo instruction in water safety and water skills.  This is viewed as a compulsory part of the PE/Health Curriculum, unless excused by a note from a CAREGIVER or DOCTOR. Students must bring named togs, towels throughout swimming season.

We would like students to wear swimming caps to prevent hair blocking our filter system. The School Pool Water is tested on a regular basis.

Please note there is a bus from town (Dargaville) to our School, which involves a fee.
Please contact Ritchies Bus Service Dargaville on 09 439 4902 for further information.
The board of trustees subsidises the town bus fare.

Please notify the school of these arrangements.

• Unless requested by a note or phone call to school by a parent/caregiver, bus children will be sent home on their usual bus.
• If a student is being collected after school, please make sure the bus duty teacher is notified.
• If parents wish ineligible bus children to travel on the bus for whatever reason (e.g. Birthday party) a request for permission to the bus company involved (Ritchie’s) must be completed by the parents.

Please note the bell times
