Kia ora koutou

We hope that the first few days of isolation have been ok for you and your child(ren).

As per the Covid announcement this afternoon, the Level 4 lockdown has been extended through until Tuesday 24th August.

Our school Whakatauki (Māori proverb) – Whiria te tāngata means to weave the people together, and never has this been more appropriate as our staff, students and parents together face this challenge again.

The most important thing right now is to focus on the wellbeing of your family, as we adjust again to this period of self-isolation. This is clearly an uncertain time for all of us, but rest assured our united team are here to provide support and persevere through this.

Our ICE Time (home based learning) is available on our website – www.teaomarama.school.nz as an option to assist keeping kids active, interested and engaged during this time. Please see further information about this later in this newsletter.

We wish you all the best, and when the time is right, we look forward to welcoming all our tamariki back with smiles

Be strong, be brave, be steadfast
