Auckland Zoo Trip – Permission & Photo Consent:

Kia ora,

To support their learning the Rūma Ono students will be visiting Auckland Zoo on Monday 7 December. We will be travelling by bus after roll call, approx 8.45am departure, and will be back before the end of the day.

All children will need to wear a hat, shoes, and bring a big, packed lunch and drink bottle on this day.

The upcoming visit is fully funded by Auckland Zoo. As a condition of receiving free entry, the Zoo requires permission to take unidentifiable photos of students during the visit for their own promotional and educational use (for example, wide shots of groups where individual faces cannot be recognized).

Because this is a requirement of the Zoo's funding, students without photo permission will not be able to attend the trip and will remain at school with supervision for the day.

Please head over to Skool Loop to confirm your permissions for your child:

·         Yes, I give permission for my child to travel by bus, attend the Auckland Zoo trip, and have their unidentifiable image used by Auckland Zoo.

If you do not give permission for your child's unidentifiable image to be used, they will remain at school on this day.

Thank you
