Paraparaumu College

The Ministry of Education have approached me today to try and connect with any families still without devices or WiFi. I know there will still be some in that situation. If this message is read by anyone of our school community who needs a device or WiFi at home, please email Cathy Lawry (lwc@pcol.school.nz) by 3pm tomorrow 27th March. We are acutely aware this is going out on social media and needing connectivity to be read. We hope therefore it is seen on a phone or if someone knows someone else in this situation, you can respond on their behalf.

Hope Day 1 is going well

Guidance Support over this time...

We want to assure all students and families that a range of guidance and support services remain available to students through both school and community agencies.

The Guidance Team will be staying in contact with the young people they are currently working with. They will contact via email first, and then once we have heard back from our students we will negotiate what's the best way of staying connected.

The Guidance Team at Paraparaumu College, can be also be contacted from 8.30-4pm, on school days if you are needing advice to support your child/our students at Paraparaumu College, who may be struggling. We have special Guidance Mobile phones which allow for contact during these hours:
