We are postponing Athletics today. We know many of you needed rain so please enjoy the raindrops on the roof.
Normal day at school.
We have our fingers, toes and legs crossed for a great day to have athletics tomorrow. We are going to be adapting the timetable a little from what has been advertised due to staff availability and the weather conditions. Potentially the High Jump for Room 6,7 and 1 students may not go ahead with slippery grass conditions which we will assess on the day.
The 1500 m races for Rooms 6,7 and 1 will be run either at the lunch break or at lunch on Thursday or early next week.
Students can come to school in their house colours.
We also would really appreciate some parents helping at the Senior Shot-put circle as we have another teacher needing to isolate and we are very stretched. If you are able to help be a measurer and judge please come and see Mr Allan in the morning.
We thanks those parents who have already offered to help and teachers have allocated places for you to help. Please just check in with the class teacher in the morning.
Looking forward to a great day.
Attached is the planned timetable for Athletics next week. The times are only approximate and can always change depending on the day.South Makirikiri School Athletics Day Timetable 2022
Emails coming from school
It appears that some parents are not receiving email coming via our student management system (etap). This is our most effective way of sending bulk emails. I have been sending out daily emails so if you are not receiving them, please follow the guidelines below. The explanation from etap.
Make sure you check Spam/Junk as eTAP emails land there incorrectly.
Etap do have issues with hotmail / outlook / live accounts :
Try this option if you do not receive any of the emails from eTAP
Parents may have to add etap.co.nz to their ‘safe list’ & they will get emails sent from eTAP.
Click on “Options” in the upper right corner of your Hotmail/Gmail screen.
Then click the link for “Safe and Blocked Senders” in the body of the page under Junk e-mail.
Click the “Safe Senders” link and enter the email address you want to whitelist.
Click “Add” to put it on your list.
We are currently looking into solutions for this still.
We hope this helps.

Evening family and whanau,
The weather truly has made it very pleasant around school for all those able to attend.
Just as an update, alongside our current number of students and families isolating due to Covid we have been informed of a student who was at school today that has tested positive this evening. We have been in contact with the class directly and ask you all to stay extra vigilant for the symptoms of Covid.
These include:
o A new or worsening cough
o Sneezing and runny nose
o A fever
o Temporary loss of smell or altered sense of taste
o Sore throat
o Shortness of breath
If any develop, get tested immediately, then, stay at home until you receive the result.
This is a tough time for everyone, either going through isolation or for the many of us waiting to see if we also are impacted by Covid. We thank you for working with us and hope we get back to normality as soon as possible.
