Evening everyone,

I am sure you all have been awaiting 4:00 announcements from the Prime Minister. We also have been waiting to see what it will mean for our school and community.

South Makirikiri school will be open from the 29th of April for those in essential work and needing the supervision for your children. The ultimate goal would be for learning to continue at home where possible.

We will have more information as the MOE provides us with more over the coming days.

Can you please complete the online form so we can start to get a picture for what the 29th of April may look like for school and online learning.

We appreciate the unique and incredibly difficult time this has been for everyone, along with all the positive support for what our teachers have been providing along with all you have been doing as teachers.

An update from the BOT:

The South Makirikiri Board of Trustees, alongside Greg Allan, are keeping up to date with the government’s announcements regarding the eventual change to Alert level 3, and what this will mean for schools around the country. We are being guided by the Ministry of Education who, at each phase of the process, have been providing further clarifications of the government directives.

Therefore, as of yet, we are not entirely sure what Alert Level 3 will mean for our community, both teachers and students, when it is actioned. We want you to know that as soon as we have concrete information from the Ministry, once the government has made its next announcement (on Monday), we will be communicating with you all in due course.

In the meantime, we hope that you are continuing to flourish in your respective bubbles and we thank you for your part in aiding our country’s effort in eliminating the spread of COVID 19 during a time of international crisis.

Kia Kaha
