Moving to Orange: What it means for Halcombe School
Kia ora koutou,
You’ll be aware that Minister of Education announced the move to Orange at 11:59pm tonight [13 April 2022].
The decision to move to Orange has been made on public health advice and reflects that we are moving past the peak of cases and our health system is able to cope. We are seeing that cases are declining due to high levels of vaccination and natural immunity after infection.
I wanted to give you an update on what the move to Orange means for our school.
At Orange, face masks are no longer required at school. However public health advice is that masks continue to be strongly encouraged when indoors. Parents - you do not need to wear a mask when you're on the school grounds, but we ask that you put one on if you are coming into the office, classrooms, or attending assembly. Thank you for your support.
Students who are 12+ years of age are still required to wear masks on the bus.
We also ask that your child (if they are Year 4+) continues to bring a mask to school every day. There may be times that we’ll ask them to wear a mask – for example, when we are having an assembly in the hall. If there are a high number of cases at school or in the community, we may need masks to be worn in classrooms for a time.
At Orange, students aged 12 and above are still required to wear a face mask on school buses or public transport.
We will continue to keep all the other health measures in place at school that we know slow the spread of COVID-19:
· Classes being well-ventilated,
· Maintaining good hand hygiene and cough and sneeze etiquette,
· Appropriate physical distancing whenever we can and,
· Staying home if we are sick.
We are looking forward to a few less restrictions and returning to school life that is a bit closer to normal.
Ngā mihi,
Alastair & The H Team.
