COVID-19 ALERT: SCHOOL IS CLOSED
Dear Papatoetoe West School Whanau,
Last night the Prime Minister has announced that Auckland will return to level 3 lockdown from 12 noon today.
Our school is closed from this morning until further notice for all students except those children of essential workers.
For these children - please be aware that the school gates will be closed until 8.30am - please practise social distancing while waiting for the school to open.
We will update you as we have any more information.
A special message from our Green Squad.

If you or a friend are interested in this Free Workshop please come along.
Our Green Squad Tamariki (aka) Environmental Team will be there to meet and greet you all to introduce themselves, the Green Squad is made up of a group of tamariki whom are passionate about Te Ao (Our Planet). We have many exciting projects in the near future.
Everyone who attends the workshop will receive a $40 discount voucher if you wish to purchase from The Compost Collective. More information will be available on the day.
This year photographs will be available for you to view and order OnLine with PhotoLife Studios.
Your son or daughter will shortly bring home an OnLine slip with their unique Access Key detailed on it. This Access Key will display all the photographs of your child. It is then an easy process for you to shop on-line and purchase the photographs you want.
If you place your order within three weeks of receiving your Access Key you will receive free delivery for your photo orders. PhotoLife has agreed to despatch all the orders back to the school and your child will bring their photographs home.
Any orders placed after this three week period will be sent directly to your specified delivery address and will incur a $6.00 Postage & Packing charge. You will see this message when you go Online to view and order your photographs.
