Tena koutou Muritai families,
COVID Update - Alert Level 2 & COVID-19 Protection Framework
Thank you all once again for keeping your children home if they are unwell and for playing your part in us all taking care of each other here at Muritai School by wearing masks, sanitising and physically distancing.
The new Covid Protection Framework comes into effect across New Zealand this weekend, and currently does not apply to our day to day school at Muritai School for the remainder of this year. We continue under the Alert Level 2 rules for schools until further notice in 2022. You do not need to provide your vaccination certificate to drop your child off at school, to visit the school office, or to attend a meeting with a teacher.
If you are choosing to assist as a parent helper on an EOTC trip, coaching a sports team, or volunteering in another role here at school, we will request your ‘Vaccine Pass’ prior to an event taking place.
If an activity or event that we are hosting falls beyond the usual school events, it will be under the COVID -19 Protection Framework (traffic lights framework). If this is to occur we will provide plenty of notice, and request your Vaccine Pass prior to the event.
Production - Welcome to the Premiere!
Well here it is Muritai School - our very own Muritai Production Movie!
Please find attached your own link to enjoy and to share with your friends and family who may have liked to have come along to our school production this year.
You may like to enjoy at home with a bag of popcorn or treats and create your very own movie night at your house! It is broken into 3 parts, and we have provided it to you all with the ability to stream from the internet, or feel free to download and enjoy again and again!
Once you are in the Space, click the Download arrow on the right to save all of these files to your local computer - you will need just over 10GB to download all the parts or you can download just the files you want by hovering over each file and clicking the arrow that appears. Downloading all may take some time depending on your internet connection. The files are under 4GB in size as this is a better length for playing on Apple products. Note: you do NOT need to sign in to or create a Hightail Account.
These videos are for Private or Domestic use only and are not to be shared or uploaded in full or in part to the internet or any social media platform.
The teachers are keen to enjoy the show with their classes, however we’ll allow one week before any at school viewing so that you can enjoy the ‘premiere’ at your house!
Thanks again for being such great supporters of our school production this year!
