Kia Ora Ano
I hope you are all ok in your bubbles and taking the time to do some of the things that you love. Again, it is lovely to see how engaged our learners are in their on-line learning platforms and google meets.
At level 3 of the COVID-19 response plan, what we currently know is that schools are to provide supervision to those learners whose whānau (people who live in their bubble) are required to attend their physical workplace because they are essential workers.
Due to the COVID-19 level 3 restrictions it is intended that most learners will still be at home. It is important for you to understand that there will be no instructional or guided learning for those learners who are attending school, they will bring their own device to school and will continue to engage in the online learning activities that their classroom teacher has set.
Please complete the following google form regarding level 3 learning:

If your tamariki will be entering our school bubble, we will contact you once level 3 restrictions are confirmed and will plan our school bubbles from there. Our priority is to ensure that our staff, their whānau, our learners and whānau are safe at COVID level 3 at our school. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to talk about this.
I read this recently and it really resonates given our current circumstances!
‘Sunshine is not cancelled, spring is not cancelled, love is not cancelled, relationships are not cancelled, reading is not cancelled, devotion is not cancelled, music is not cancelled, dancing is not cancelled, imagination is not cancelled, kindness is not cancelled, conversations are not cancelled…Hope is not cancelled.’
I hope you all find something to do today that makes your whānau smile.
Take care and see you soon.
