Dear Parents and Caregivers
While we are a distance away from Christchurch, the very unfortunate and tragic incident that occurred on Friday afternoon is certainly impacting on us nationwide and here in Turua.
Below are some links that may help you if you wish to have any conversations at home with your children:
- The Parenting Place: How to talk to your kids about trauma
- The Conversation: How to talk to children about terrorism.
- Ministry of Health: Helping children
- Save the Children: 10 Tips for Helping Children Cope with Disaster
We also wish to give our parents the assurance that our school has the necessary emergency plans in place to deal with emergency events, It is important to note that in such an unfortunate incident, the school will be communicating to all parents and caregivers via facebook, this alert system and mobile phone. It is imperative that your emergency contact details are up to date. If you are unsure please check on the @school site or contact Maree in the office.
Thank you.
