With winter illnesses currently circulating in our community, including influenza, we would like to remind everyone of the importance of keeping children home when they are unwell.
Students should remain at home while they have any systems, such as fever, significant coughing, vomiting or are generally too unwell to participate comfortably in the school day.
Thank you for helping to protect our staff, students and wider community.
Please find attached, more detailed information from Health New Zealand.
Stay well everyone!

The attached notice will be going home with our Year 6 students today. Also attached is a copy of the Putaruru College Flyer.
We have a few Programmes running this term.
· Tricking: a movement sport that blends kicks, flips and spins from martial arts, gymnastics, and breakdancing. There's no grading; tamariki build skills at their own pace and put them together into their own style.
· Pickleball Foundation for Kids: pickleball is a fast, easy-to-learn racquet sport played on a small court with a paddle and a light plastic ball. It's one of the fastest-growing sports in the world and rallies start from day one, so tamariki are playing properly within their first session.
· Open Play Sessions a safe indoor space for our youngest tamariki to move, climb and play, with soft equipment set out and caregivers staying alongside. Ideal for pre-schoolers and for younger siblings around school pick-up.
Families can get in touch on 07 885 1059 or sportsandevents@southwaikato.govt.nz to register.
We also have a survey running in which anyone can have their say on future programmes or activities they would like to see. The survey is still running and available at this website: Help shape activities at the Sport and Events Centre - South Waikato District Council
