Please read the following notice from Graeme Budler regarding the recent announcement that Auckland is returning to Alert Level 3 from 11.59pm today (Sunday 14 February).

Dear Parents,

I trust that you have caught up with the news that Auckland is returning to Alert Level 3 from 11.59pm today. In accordance with the government’s Alert Level 3 procedures, school and all activities are cancelled starting tomorrow at 8.am for the next three days. Children of essential workers will be supervised at the Senior Campus. Please complete THIS LINK if you are an essential worker and your children require supervision for this week. Staff are prepared for this eventuality. However, in order to ensure a seamless transition for Tuesday’s learning, we need to ensure that all systems are up and running.

Tomorrow will be used as follows:

A time to test our online systems for Year 7-13. Please contact your Head of School if your child tomorrow cannot connect to online learning.

• The Junior Campus is closed until further notice and all students from Years 1-10 who are children of essential services will be supervised at the Senior Campus.
• The nurses and receptionists will supervise the office.
• All activities are postponed until further notice.
• If you have left any essential property to assist with online learning such as a laptop at school, you may collect these tomorrow. Please sign in on the school app, avoid contact with any person and wear a mask. You should not come into school unnecessarily and avoid contact with others.

• The website will update the community of all Alert Level 3 protocols.
• No online learning will happen tomorrow. However, Year 10-13 students are requested to make contact with their subject teacher during normal Monday timetabled classes to ensure that they are ready for Tuesday.
