Term One Week 4

A Message from our Acting Principal, Evelyn Leef

Tēnā Koutou e ngā whānau

We are aware of a disturbing clip being shared on social media showing a small number of our students involved in a fight. The content is distressing and I would urge you not to share or view the footage. It is important that, as trusted role models, we minimise the risks and potential long-term effects on our young people of exposure to confronting content online. When negative behaviour is recorded and shared, it is not only ignoring the fact that young people are getting hurt but it may also have an impact beyond those who immediately engage with it.

We have advised police and are working with Netsafe to remove the clip from sites where possible. If the clip is shared with you, you can also report the content to the social media platform provider.

Fighting is never acceptable and we are taking this matter extremely seriously. The students involved will be held accountable and will be subject to our disciplinary process.

We are deeply disappointed as this does not reflect our school values nor does it support the purpose and focus of our school re-opening of Hauora and Manaakitanga following the tremendous devastation that our communities are currently experiencing.

If you have any concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

If you believe your child has been exposed to this footage or any upsetting content online, you can see Netsafe’s information about helping young people: www.netsafe.org.nz

Thank you so much for joining with our school to protect and safeguard the wellbeing of all of our children.
