25 October: Important changes for senior students

Following updated information from the Ministry of Education this morning (Monday), our Senior Leadership Team has made the following changes to our senior student school return procedures this week.

We understand that this is another change and thank you for your patience while we navigate these swiftly changing times and do our best in the interests of the safety of our students and staff.

Students coming onsite this week will now be staggered in year levels. Attendance at school is optional, and all students can continue learning from home if they wish.

Please note, teachers will use Google classroom to share classroom resources and instructions as they normally would when working onsite, and be in touch regarding connecting online learners to the classroom.

Week 2

Staff only

Wednesday 27 October
Day 3 on the Timetable

Year 13 students only, who need to be onsite for their learning

Day 4 on the Timetable

Friday 29 October

As previously stated, ALL students, whether online or in class, will work to the following bell times:

9am:                      Period 1
10am:                   Period 2
11am:                   Interval

Online learners should continue using Google Classrooms, working at their own pace, however any Google Meets will be scheduled within the bell times above.  Your teacher will confirm these with you.

Please note: the official L1 DCAT examination will still take place on Wednesday 27 October.

Given the number and speed of changes currently occurring, we will confirm Weeks 3, 4 and 5 later this week (NCEA exams begin in Week 6.) However, to assist with planning, this is our thinking to date:
