Fruit in Schools and Hepatitis Warning
Dear Parents,
Last week some apples delivered to schools in Canterbury as part of the Fruit in Schools Programme fell within the dates of the 'Hepatitus A' warning period.
The Ministry of Health have asked all schools in the programme to let parents know that there is a very low risk that any children or staff would have been exposed to the virus. However as a precaution they remind the community of the importance of anyone displaying 'flu like symptoms' over the coming weeks to visit a doctor just in case.
If you would like more detailed information about Hepatitis please click here
Please be assured that the risk that we came in to contact with the illness is very low and that this information is being distributed to all schools in the Fruit in Schools Programme.

Thursday 13th March
Hi all,
Just a quick post to thank you all for your positive response to our new uniform upgrade. The children are looking fantastic in their new shirts and polar fleeces provided through our Red Cross Grant. Apologies to a few students waiting for new sizes to arrive. They will be here soon!
A reminder that children need to also wear plain black pants, shorts or skirts along with the school tops. Older style red tops are still perfectly OK to wear for the rest of this year.
Extra tops can now be purchased from the Warehouse at 'South City'.
Have a great day,
Waltham Team

Weather Update
Hi all,
We have remained open today for students who are able to travel to school safely. As always in extreme weather conditions it is important that parents assess their own personal circumstances and listen to public announcements from Civil Defense or the Police.
The fact that our school may remains 'open' in extreme weather should never be interpreted as pressure to send your child if you feel it is unsafe.
Sometimes it is safer for a school to remain 'open' for those who live nearby rather than ask parents to travel again to pick up their children in a 'closure' situation.
Our thoughts go out to all of you who are experiencing flooding or other hardships relating to the wind and rain. Please feel welcome to call us if there is anything we can do to support you.
Kindest regards,
Waltham School Staff

Welcome to 2014
On behalf of all of the staff I would like to warmly welcome all students, parents and friends of the school back for the New Year.
Classes start for all students on Tuesday 4th February at 8:55am.
We look forward to seeing you all then.
UNIFORM
A reminder that we will be distributing new shirts and polar fleeces with our new school logo as soon as they arrive from Postie Plus over the next week. These will be paid for by the Red Cross Grant and will come free to all students.
In the meantime the 'old' uniform will be fine and if families do not have remaining 'old' tops we will be relaxed about uniform wearing until the new supplies are given out.
Once the new uniform has been distributed, replacements and extra uniform will be available from Postie Plus for families to purchase just as it has been in the past.
