In the case of an emergency or for urgent updates we may use a text messaging / SMS service. Increasingly we use the School App to push out updates. This is useful for parents/caregivers and students. Download ‘SchoolAppsNZ’ and select Napier Boys’ High School.

Please make the time to talk through this report with your son, acknowledging the positives, work-ons and setting goals to collectively work toward.
