COVID-19 UPDATE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 3RD 2021

UPDATE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 3RD 

Tēnā tātou katoa, he mihi tēnei ki a tātou te whānau whānui o te kura o Matauri.

As mentioned yesterday night, the Far North of Tai Tokerau has been placed in level 3 till 11.59 pm Monday 8th November.  As a result, our school is closed Thursday 4th, Friday 5th  and Monday 8th, awaiting the review and announcement.

Other local schools are within level 3, and bordering schools have been given level 3 status and are closed. At present, a skeleton bus service is offered for students preparing for year 11-13 exams only.

Teachers would have contacted the parents of students today. We will get hard copies of work to students by tomorrow afternoon through the network we use during lockdowns. Those within level 3 boundaries will have to engage in your class online work organised by your teacher as you can.  Should the lockdown extend beyond Monday 8th, we will look to distribute devices as we have done so before. Please contact your student’s teacher by text, email or phone regarding your students learning between the hours of 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. Please contact me by email if you need further information.

Remember, any updated school information will be available on our school Facebook, school app and school website matauribay.school.nz. 

We ask that you stay home, stay safe and continue keeping your whānau and other whānau safe. 

Mauri ora ki a tātou

Level 3 announcement and Term 4 Information

Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

He mihi aroha ki a tātou i runga i te wā huri koaro nei.

Here are the student and whānau details for the beginning of Term 4 2021.

Northland is at level 3 until 11.59 on Monday 18th October. An announcement on Monday will determine if there will be a level change, as the MOE has instructed.

At Alert Level 3, tamariki (children) and young people should learn from home.

Our local buses have not run at Level 3 and will not run on Monday 18th.

As a result, if we change levels and return to school, schools will have 48 hours to get classes ready and staff onsite. We will confirm the date that school will start back onsite. Note that all staff are vaccinated fully or partially, and COVID-19 tested as per the MOE mandate.

If we remain at level 3, we will begin our remote learning programme again for week 1 of the term. Teachers will contact you and engage as we did during the earlier lockdown in term 3.

Contact the school or your child’s teacher by email, text or ring me directly if you need further information.
