Opunake High School is moving... our school app to School Bridge.
Download it today from either Apple or Googles app stores.
The good news is that as long as we have the correct emails for caregivers and students (who use their school Gmail account) you can already access the app!
If you have an issue, please contact the school office and we'll work to correct things asap.
We will be running both apps until the end of Term 1.
School Bridge offers us a bunch of new features, most excitingly for us is the ability to get permissions for EOTC events such as camps etc.

PHONES AWAY, FOR THE DAY.
From Term 2 we will expect student’s phones to be away for the day, meaning phones either do not come with the student to school (recommended), or are switched off and in their bags during the full school day.
These rules are designed to ensure that the learning of all students is maximised, while minimising any potential for distraction and cyber-bullying.
If a parent or caregiver needs to contact their child urgently during the day, they should call the office or contact their child via their school email address. Parents and caregivers might also like to talk to their child about ways to manage any concerns about being off their phones for the day.
In order for this phone rule to be effective and to not disrupt our learning programmes we ask parents/ caregivers to speak to their child about these rules and reinforce the expectations of our kura.
