Attending School and After School
Our school day starts at 8.40am. Students are legally required to attend school everyday.Support is available for families of children who find it challenging attending school.
Parents/ whānau play a big role in helping your tamariki/child do well in school. You can do this by making sure your tamaiti come to school everyday and letting our school know if they’re sick.
If your child is late to school in the morning, they need to go to Miss Dot’s office (located in the corridor at the back of the office), sign in and get a late pass, before heading to class.
School finishes at 2.45pm. All students are to be off-site/off-school grounds by 3pm unless they are attending training for a sport. This is for safety reasons as we do not have supervision in case of emergency, injury or incident.
Contact SKIDS (after-school care) if you need supervision for your child/ren

Term 1 Te Hui Ako: A meeting to share learning
Tuesday 25 February – Thursday 27 February
As we did not have a ‘Family/Whanau Hui Day at the start of this year, we thought that it would be appropriate to have Te Hui Ako. These conferences/hui are some of the highlights in our school calendar. Our aim is to meet with 100% of you over three days. The challenge is to achieve 100% participation across our whole school. Some classes consistently achieve 100%.
The purpose of these conferences/hui is for you, your son/daughter and your child’s teacher to meet together and discuss the goals they have set for themselves, including what they are planning on achieving between now and our next Te Hui Ako in Term 2. Tamariki learn best when family/whānau and school are proactively working together to support them. We are so proud of the participation we get from you our community.
The information and the booking sheet have been sent out today, please complete and return to our school office.
If you have any pātai/questions, contact our school office on 09 2670112 or 0800438777 or email rpoffice@randwickpark.school.nz

DROPPING AND COLLECTING YOUR TAMARIKI/CHILDREN
When dropping your tamariki off in the morning please use our yellow coned drop-off area. This is for the safety of you and your tamariki. If you would like to walk your child/ren to class, please park out on the road, avoiding the yellow lines/ residential driveways.
Our school gates close at 2pm. Only parents/whānau who have a parking permit are permitted through the gates, as we have limited parking spaces.
if you have any questions, please contact our school office on 09 267 0112 or 0800438777, or email rpoffice@randwickpark.school.nz. Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation in keeping our tamariki safe.
