DISTANCE LEARNING TERM 3
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: From our letter home this week:
Thank you very much for your support with the demands of the pandemic so far. Unfortunately, we have reached the stage where our increasing numbers of staff absent for illness, isolation, care of dependents etc. means that we have to roster cohorts for hybrid learning. The combination of high levels of staff illness and almost no relievers available, even from agencies, puts us in the position where we have to try something different.
We are also experiencing high levels of student absences due to ongoing illness and requirements to isolate. We want students at school kanohi ki te kanohi / face-to-face as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee being able to fully staff the school every day.
To keep continuity for students as much as possible, we propose that we roster each year level home one day per week for Weeks 7-10 of Term 3.
- Year 7 students are at school on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs. Home learning on Fridays from Friday 9 September to Friday 30 September 2022.
- Year 8 students are at school on Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri. Home learning on Mondays from Monday 5 September to Monday 26 September 2022.
PLEASE NOTE: We are conscious of minimising the impact of this period of hybrid learning on families and on other schools and employers in the area.
If there is no-one at home to supervise your child, they may attend every day. Please email the school office with your child’s name and room number to advise they will attend on their rostered day of home learning.
