We hope you had a relaxing term break and are ready to get stuck into a new Term of learning.
Covid-19
Whakatane High School is in the Orange Traffic Light setting.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT SCHOOL
Gathering limits
There are no longer indoor or outdoor gathering limits, so we will resume assemblies in Term 2.
Facemasks
These are no longer compulsory at school, but are still encouraged indoors. They are, however, still compulsory on school transport. If we see rising rates of Covid in our school we may decide it is appropriate to keep additional health measures in place, and return to wearing a mask indoors. We will advise if this is the case.
Have Covid-19 symptoms?
Stay home if you are unwell and take a RAT test.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT HOME
Live with someone who has tested positive?
You are considered a Household Contact and will need to isolate for 7 days.

Term 2 focus - Attendance
