Message from our Principal
Friday 12th November 2021
Kia ora koutou,
Our Education Minister, Chris Hipkins, announced that Auckland students in Years 1-8 can return part time to face-to-face learning in schools from the 17th November.
Thank you to all our families who responded to the survey we sent out to support us with planning for our return to school.
We had 405 families (84%) respond to the survey.
56% of our families will keep their child/ren at home to continue distance learning for the remainder of the year.
30% will return their children part time as per our timetable (see attached timetable for the days your child can attend school if you selected this option).
Level 3 registered existing bubble classes will remain.
Please see attached timetable for the days that school will be open onsite for your child's year level (if you have chosen this option).
Although distance learning will continue, this will look different on the days your child's teacher is onsite teaching. Teachers will send further information on this.
