The main rule we have at St. Thomas More School is that teachers are here to teach and students are here to learn. Any behaviour which prevents this from happening is a concern to all of us.
Our school motto is:
“Ka Ngaro, Ka Ngaro, Ka ea, Ka ea, Te Toka A Tirikawa”
(I am lost, I am lost, I am found, I am found, the rock is my guide)
Our interpretation of this …“No matter what stay true”
Uniforms
• Children must come in and go out in full uniform (except on sports days)
• No facial piercing at all
• No bracelets or rings
• No nail polish
• Allowed: watches and stud earrings
• Allowed: Necklaces with small gold/silver cross
• No dyed hair
• Hair should be tied up if shoulder length or longer (nit deterrent)
Wet Days
• bell to ring twice for children to come inside if wet;
• if inside, sitting or moving quietly;
• two senior class members will be in the junior rooms for the first ten minutes – may stay for
remainder of interval/lunch time.
Interval / Lunch Times
Children to sit in the shaded lunch area until teacher has dismissed them.
Don’t bring these things to school:
Chewing gum, bubble gum or paper wrapped lollies, junk food, drinks with high sugar or caffeine content, toys of any sort.
Safe Zone
The area in front of the school office and entrance is not a drop off point for cars/vehicles. It is a “car free” zone between 8.00 a.m. – 3.00 p.m.
