Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Staff
SUBJECT: SUSPENSION OF CLASSES FOR FOUR WEEKS FOR SCHOOLS IN THE NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM DUE TO COVID-19
All schools have been directed in a Ministerial Policy Statement 2/2021 Ministry of Education to suspend classes for four weeks from Monday 22 March to Friday 16 April 2021. All students are expected to return to school on Monday 19 April 2021.
In line with this directive, our College’s break up for the three remaining weeks including the Term 1 Holiday break is now:
Next week Monday 22 March will be a staff planning day, and all teachers will report to work to plan Home Learning materials for Week 8 Term 1. On Tuesday 23 March, your child’s Weekly Home Learning materials will be issued by their teachers as follows:
Primary School:
-
For the parents who opted to collect hard copies of Weekly Home Learning materials, our teachers will be on duty at Vaivai Gate to give your child’s learning materials on Tuesday 23 March from 8.30am to 9.30am.
-
For parents who opted to receive soft copies of Weekly Home Learning materials, your child’s teacher will e-mail them to you on Tuesday 23 March.
Secondary School:
-
Teachers will provide students’ learning materials through Google classroom for Secondary School students.
-
For parents who wish to receive hard copies, please report to Vavvai Gate on Tuesday 23 March from 8.30am to 9.30m.
The provision of Weekly Home Learning materials by our teachers will enable your children to continue to learn progressively at home. Teachers will plan and provide resources, and also enable children to access resources to support the planned curriculum, that would be in place if the child was attending school as normal.
We wish to encourage you to support your child complete the Weekly Home Learning materials, please.
Please follow the basic preventative measures to protect yourself, your family members and the community at large.
Yours sincerely
