COVID-19 Update

Tēnā koutou,

We are currently at ALERT LEVEL 2-DELTA. 

This includes the following key aspects:
● We ask that parents and whānau please do not enter the school grounds unless it is for essential reasons
● Entry and exit protocols will be in place. This includes after school meeting points and two departure times for students
● There will be no access to the school grounds before 8:30am and after 3.10pm

We will update this information when we move to Alert Level One.

Key sources of communication for Bethlehem School during the changes through the COVID19 Alert Levels will be: 

Email - Your primary point of communication to and from our kura. All important school information will be directly emailed to you. 
Facebook - Summarised versions of information emailed out to whānau will also be posted on our Facebook page. We will also be including examples of fun learning activities and positive messages.

He waka eke noa - we are all in this together.

Kia kaha

Bethlehem School is a contributing school catering for students in Year 0-6 (5-11  yrs olds).  It was opened in 1883 as a native school and has strong links with its Maori community. In 2008 it celebrated its 125th Jubilee. For most of its history the school has been a small semi rural school but as Tauranga has grown so to has the school especially over the last 20 years. From a school of 120 students in 1995 to a roll of 470 in 2021, much has happened in this time. 

The school is organised into three English medium teams or syndicates, Senior, Middle and Junior following the New Zealand Curriculum. There is also a Rumaki team made up of three classes delivering a Level 1 Maori medium immersion programme using Te Marautanga o Aotearoa as the basis for our school curriculum (Marautanga-a-kura o Peterehema). 

There are a wide range of extra-curricular activities (sporting, cultural, artistic and environmental) on offer with many opportunities for students to experience success and enjoyment. Read more ...
