Blanket consent
18 Feb 2025

Kia ora parents and caregivers,

We would like to inform you that there have been no changes to our blanket consent policy. This means that any consent given last year/this year for lower-risk activities remains valid and will carry over. We will follow our policy and send correspondence home before children are taken off school grounds. 

Here is the consent given: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F_vWPcvlkHgo_yC70oN8bD2Hz_mH-qyUflvy2lghjD0/edit?usp=sharing

For higher-risk activities (e.g, swimming), we will continue to seek separate consent. 

If you didn't grant consent we will continue to seek separate consent for each event. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
