If your child tests positive for COVID-19:

Please complete this form
Your child (and all household members) will need to isolate for 10 days. Start counting 10 days from day 0. Day 0 is the day that your child’s symptoms started or the day that they got tested if they did not have any symptoms
Your child can return to school on day 11

If someone in your household tests positive:

Please complete this form
All members of your household must self-isolate from the day that the first person in your household receives their positive test result, until they complete their 10 days of self-isolation.
When the first case in your house gets to days 3 and 10 of their isolation, all household contacts need to get tested using a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT).
Your child can return to school on day 11 provided they have no symptoms and their tests were negative.

Online Safety - Online Bullying

One in five young people in New Zealand have been the target of online bullying – it can happen to anyone, and it can be hard for parents to deal with. Netsafe has advice for parents on what to do if you think your child is being bullied online:

Stay calm: Your child needs to be able to talk to you and know that you’ll be level headed, thoughtful and helpful in your response.

Evaluate the situation: It’s important to know exactly what’s going on before you can work out what to do next. Is it a few off hand remarks, or is it something more serious?

Understand how your child is being affected:  If your child is upset about a situation, let them know that you understand and it’s OK to be upset, but also that you are really pleased they came to talk to you.

Avoid taking away the technology: Taking away your child’s laptop or mobile phone can alienate them from their most important network – their peers and it will probably mean they will be less likely to talk to you when things don’t go as planned in the future. If you don’t already have a plan in place, work out together what your next steps might be, and it could involve seeking further support.

Block or report content: Teach your child how to use the features available on most social networking sites including blocking and unfriending people and reporting content. You should also show them how to update privacy settings on social media – if you’re not sure how, visit the safety centres of the social media platforms they use. You may want to block phone numbers that are sending bullying or abusive messages. You can find instructions for blocking numbers on your phone by searching online. Use the words “how to block phone numbers” + the model of your phone.

Ask for help: You can contact Netsafe at any time for free help and advice on what you might be able to do to help your child. If the bullying is happening at school, or involves students at the school you can also contact your child’s teacher to talk about the situation and options available to resolve things.
