WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 17, Term One, Week Six, 5 March 2021 Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland Firstly, I would like to compliment all our students here at Sunderland for their application and tenacity during what I’m calling Lockdown Four. Yo-yoing from ‘face to face’ to virtual learning cannot be easy and therefore, its important we recognise our young learners’ efforts.
I also wish to take a moment and thank all our staff at Sunderland. It is not just the teaching staff who make these virtual lessons operate, but the administration staff too. They have all stayed on at school to support the teachers and parents as we navigate yet another frustrating lockdown period. I have spoken to the teaching staff on Zoom three times this week, and all seems to be going well with the learning. Please don’t hesitate to feedback to me directly with your observations as parents – I would appreciate your perspective. Obviously, we had to cancel a number of activities over the past week or so. Some of the most significant events were the Whole School Picnic to be held last Friday; the Annual Athletics Day which was planned for Tuesday; and the Open Day to be held this Saturday. I can assure the community that these activities will take place, but new dates are yet to be confirmed.
