Kia ora e te whānau,

I was informed this morning of an incident in our wider community before school. Two students were approached by adults in a car and were asked to get in. One of the adults told the students they were a teacher at a nearby school. The students did not engage and are safe.

Police have been notified, and schools in the area are aware.

All students are safe. We are sharing this to keep our community informed and to reinforce simple safety messages with our tamariki:

• Do not go with anyone you do not know, even if they say they are from a school
• Stay with others when travelling to and from school
• Tell a trusted adult straight away if something does not feel right

We will continue to keep a close watch around our gates at drop-off and pick-up times, including along our walking bus routes.

Thank you for your ongoing support in keeping our tamariki safe.

Ngā mihi,
