Term 4 Return to school Monday October 18 2021

Kia ora koutou,

On Monday, October 18 we will still be in  Level 3.

The school is officially closed. This may be only Monday and Tuesday or longer depending on government decisions.

If all the adults in your household are essential workers, your child/ren may attend school from 8:45am to 3pm. If your family is in this position, please email Pippa principal@hameast.school.nz by 7pm Saturday, October 16.

Please identify children, adults and their place/s of work, and days when the child/ren cannot be supervised because of this.

You need to know that the bubble we provide will NOT look like school as your children know it. They cannot access any playgrounds, sing/dance inside or work/play closely alongside others. 2 metres distance is required at all times. If there are family groups they will be in the same bubble. They will not have their own teacher or classroom.

At level 3 it is important to stay in your family bubble.

Sending children to school should be the last and final option.

You will have heard that it is now mandatory (law) that all school staff are vaccinated. 

We encourage you and eligible family members to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Super Saturday is this Saturday https://covid19.govt.nz/covid-19-vaccines/how-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccination/super-saturday/

If there is something the school can help you with in regards to getting vaccinated, please let me know.

Thank you,

Pippa Wright

Wellbeing Wednesday

On Wednesday, 1st September, we enter Alert Level 3. We hope that you have been able to adjust to the different challenges of lockdown and that you have had opportunities to enjoy the very special moments of family time. 

As a school, we have made the decision to join many schools across New Zealand in having a Wellbeing Wednesday. On this day, there will be no new digital learning set.

This will be a day away from more formal digital learning. Students will have an opportunity to learn offline and engage in a range of non-digital activities. They might be tasks that your children would like to do together or alone, or they might want to do something else entirely. Suggested activities will be posted on the class blogs.

This day is an opportunity to support students and teachers well-being. It is a time to recognise and focus on emotional wellbeing in these challenging situations. We can all do this by providing opportunities to connect, be active, notice, keep learning and give.

Staff will use this time for marking work and to prepare and organise resources for the next few weeks of online working ahead.

An example of what you could do at this time.
