COVID-19 Update, 17 August

KingsWay School —

Working through the impacts of Alert Level 3.

Dear KingsWay Community,

You will now be adjusting to a further period of Alert Level 3 and working through the impacts this will have for your family. It is pleasing to see how New Zealanders are responding to this latest outbreak by getting tested if unwell and staying home.

While most of us are familiar with requirements at Alert Level 3, KingsWay staff will continue to emphasise the importance of:

  • Good hand hygiene and cough and sneeze etiquette.
  • Staying away if sick.
  • Keeping an appropriate physical distance from others.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting our high touch surfaces daily.
  • Staying in our bubbles whether at home or in school.
  • Displaying QR code posters at our entrances and encouraging all our community to download the NZ COVID Tracer App and use it if they come onsite.
  • Keeping a visitor register for anyone who cannot use the App and for other essential visitors.

We know all these things will help to keep our community as safe as possible. Because of these measures being in place, your child does not need to wear a face-covering while at school until further notice.

Our distance learning programme is now fully operational. It is advised in times of crisis to keep to a routine. However, I fully understand that with younger students, this can be difficult, especially if you are juggling work at home. Remember to do your best, and that near enough is good enough.

Please keep connected with us, as you have been doing. We look forward to seeing everyone in person very soon.

The staff at KingsWay continue to pray for the community and invite you to reach out if we can assist you during this challenging time.

Kind regards,

Graeme Budler
Executive Principal
