About Rosehill Intermediate

Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Malo e lelei, hwan-yeong, Bula Vinaka, Āpaka svāgata hai

A very warm welcome to Rosehill Intermediate School.  This website introduces you to our school and the hopes and aspirations we have for your child.

Our school has unique characteristics and strengths that are particularly appropriate for meeting the needs of emerging adolescents.  The focus of each programme offered at RIS acknowledges the special nature of the age group we work with.  Children of this age are capable of taking a leading role in their learning; they are capable of making decisions and realising consequences.

Notices

Information regarding coronavirus.

As you will have seen in the media the situation is rapidly evolving internationally concerning the coronavirus.

This is a new virus and its specific nature is currently unclear, however it appears that you can have the virus at an early stage and not be showing any symptoms.  This incubation period is currently considered to be up to 14 days. 

The health of students and staff is a priority for all. Therefore  I encourage you to err on the side of caution and here are some steps you can take:

 

• If you or your family has recently returned from China or have been in close contact with someone confirmed with the virus, I ask that you delay the start of your school year for 14 days and voluntarily stay away.
• For ongoing updates and information keep an eye on our website and the Ministry of Health website: Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) guidance – Ministry of Health
