KingsWay School is in Alert Level 3 

Alert Level 3 Procedures and Protocols

Who should attend school during Lockdown Level 3? 

We encourage all students where possible to stay home during Lockdown Level 3. 

Senior and Middle School classes continue online until Alert Level 2. School hours are from 8.30 am to 3.10 pm. No students are allowed on site before 8.20 am unless being dropped off by the bus. Students should immediately report to their supervision area on arrival where a duty teacher will record their attendance. Students will continue with their online programme while at school.  

Parents should not enter any classes or buildings without first reporting to reception. Parents who must enter the admin areas should do so while maintaining social distancing and be accompanied by a member of staff.  

Where will my child be supervised? 

All student supervision is on the Senior Campus 100 Jelas Rd, Orewa. Please use the kiss and drop at the front gate to drop your child if they are in the Middle or Senior School. Parents of younger students may park in the grounds and walk their children to the Wharenui, while maintaining social distancing at all times. Please do not linger, but immediately leave the site once you have dropped off your child.  

How do I maintain social distancing during Level 3 while at school? 

Please regularly discuss effective and safe social distancing practices with your child without creating any unnecessary anxiety.   

No formal face-to-face parent/teacher meetings happen during Alert Level 3.  

Lunch and morning tea will be at the same times. However, students who attend school are restricted to the hardcourt/Astro during recess times due to grass field maintenance. No games that involve physical contact or shared use of equipment are permitted. 

No, aftercare service is available under Alert Level 3. All students need to be offsite by 3.30 each day. Staff will be offsite by 4 pm, and the gates will then be locked to allow for cleaning and security of the site. 

The use of playground equipment is prohibited. 

Parents with children in the primary can collect and drop off their children from the Senior Campus front gate. Middle and Senior School students should arrange an agreed meeting space in the Totara Views area for pickup. Please do not park and wait on Jelas Rd or clog up the kiss and drop area.  A duty teacher will supervise this process before and after school.  

Maintaining Effective Hygiene Practices 

Staff supervising students will remind and ensure they follow the following safe practices: 

• No sharing of food or drink bottles
• Wash your hands before and after morning tea and lunch. Teachers will supervise Primary students in Year 1-4.
• Routinely wipe down computers, surfaces and other equipment using hand sanitiser and a disposable tissue after morning tea and lunch. 

KingsWay will ensure all areas are thoroughly cleaned daily if used by students and staff. 

What happens if my child falls ill during this time? 

You will be contacted and asked to pick up your child at reception. If your child displays any COVID-19 symptoms, we will request that you take them to the Doctor and have them tested and confirmed to be healthy before they return to school. Please do not send your child to school if they are unwell.  

Contact Tracing 

It is essential to be able to carry out effective contact tracing in the event of a reported COVID-19 infection. We will: 

• Keep a register of contact details of any person who visits KingsWay. Please sign in at reception before entering any of the classes or buildings.
• Keep a record of where you have been, when and who with and inform reception before leaving the site.
