Monday 14th September - Mad Scientist Morning. We will be exploring science as a school and students will be asked to dress up as mad scientists. They will rotate around different teachers and develop a curiosity for how things work. We are lucky to have senior students from Wentworth College helping us with this. If there are any parents with a passion for science who would like to be involved and take groups of students for experiments on this day please contact Charlotte Brown,c.brown@ghs.school.nz or phone 4280202. Thank-you.
Significant Absence due to Illness Last Month
We have had increased absence due to many illnesses over the past month, (gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhea, strep throat, chest infections and other flu like symptoms). Many of the illnesses this term have been contagious. To avoid spreading, please remind your children of general hygiene and keep them home if they are unwell.
Symptoms to be cautious about are high fever, sore throat, tummy pains and general body aches and pains. If your child develops a rash associated with the previous mentioned symptoms please seek medical advice.
