Measles is circulating and is very contagious. There are now measles in Northland, Auckland, Manawatu, Nelson and Wellington, and we expect further cases across New Zealand.
Watch out for symptoms – fever, cough, runny nose, sore eyes, and a blotchy rash:

Measles – Health New Zealand Anyone with measles symptoms must stay at home and should seek urgent advice by ringing their doctor or Healthline on 0800 611 116. 
Anyone who is closely exposed to a measles case must stay at home. Heath New Zealand will provide individuals with advice on a case-by-case basis (including when they can leave quarantine at home).

Health New Zealand is actively working with the schools that currently have measles cases.

People are considered immune to measles after having two doses of a measles vaccine from 12 months or older, or if you have had measles before. For more information on measles immunity visit:

Measles immunity – Health New ZealandEncourage families and whānau to check their own and their child/childrens’ immunisation status through My Health Record:

On Friday morning we have a visiting kapa haka group from Cashmere High school. We will be performing for them and them for us! Then we will play games etc. This will be followed by shared kai for morning tea. If children could bring a small plate for sharing it would be much appreciated. We apologise for this coming so soon after athletics.
