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.
