Helpful Information for the school year:
MRI Communications
Our main means of communication to you comes via email and through our school App. All communication can also be found on our website.
Our School App provider is SchoolappsNZ. See the flyer below with details on how to connect to our app.
If your contact details, such as email address or phone number change at any stage, please inform the office as soon as possible.
Attendance
Children are expected to be in their rooms by 8.45am, ready for school to begin at 8.50am. Punctuality is important. Any absences need to be explained. If your child is unwell and won’t be at school for the day, please ensure you report their absence as early as possible through either our Website, School App, by email to the class teacher and attendance@mri.school.nz or by phoning the office on 09 620 8508. You can leave a voice message if you call outside our office hours.
Uniform
All students are expected to arrive and leave school in their correct school uniform. Full uniform is to be worn to and from school. Only on days students have PE or sport can MRI PE uniform be worn to and from school.
If for some reason your child cannot wear the correct uniform, they need to advise their teacher with a note or email from their parent/caregiver.
Sun Hats
We strongly encourage our students to wear a sun hat while outside during break times and when participating in PE and sport. Plain black caps are available to purchase for $10 each at the school office.
Naming of your child’s uniform
Please clearly name your child’s uniform. This helps us greatly with enabling us to return misplaced garments back to their rightful owner.
Unclaimed items at the end of each term are repurposed or disposed of.
School Lunches
MRI are a water only school so students are not to bring juice, fizzy or flavoured drinks to school. Your child can bring their own named water bottle or we have hands-free water fountains available for use around the school.
We work with Ezlunch who provide quality, fresh-made food to purchase. If you order by 9am on the day, your child’s lunch will be delivered to the school by lunchtime. Click the link to find out details on how to order and to view their menu HERE
NO Driving onto the school campus grounds
For the safety of all our students, as well as our neighbouring Primary and Grammar students, no one is to drive into our school grounds/carpark at the start of the school day or the end of the school day. If you drop off or pick up your child, this must be done on one of the surrounding streets. Only staff are allowed to drive onto school grounds.
Our Denbigh Ave bridge is still closed to vehicles but is currently open to pedestrians. We are working with the Ministry of Education around the bridge replacement.
