WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 17, Term One, Week Four, 19 February 2021
Dear Parents and Friends of ACG Sunderland, What a difference a day makes! As I began writing my newsletter today, Thursday 18 February, Auckland returns to some normality, with normal school beginning this morning after we spent three days in lockdown. At this time, I wish to commend all the Teachers and Support staff here at ACG Sunderland, as we again navigated the lockdown rules and expectations, delivering online lessons from the first day, and students the opportunity to come and pick up essential books and materials before the first lessons. I was so very impressed with the quality of lessons from the get-go. Students will have had a temperature check on entering the building over the next two days, with hand sanitiser at the doors of each hallway and/or classroom, as face-to-face lessons started on Thursday. The same rules apply again regarding zoom lessons going forward. We call these’ hybrid lessons’, where there is face to face and zoom lessons taking place at the same time. This will only occur when there is less than 90% of students in the classroom. Therefore, we do strongly encourage all children to attend face to face lessons. We must have confidence in the Government’s decision to move to Alert Level Two for Auckland. They must feel the ring fence around the Papatoetoe cluster is robust and the rest of the community is now very safe.
OPEN DAY SATURDAY 6 MARCH FROM 10.30AM TO 2.30PM
