Information for Parents re School re-opening

This is the latest information about moving to Alert Level 3 that was sent home to parents on Friday 24 April.  Tuesday 28 April will be a teacher only day, which will give teachers much needed time to review and make improvements to the online learning programme.  School will open on Wednesday 29 April at 9 a.m. for those Year 9 and 10 students who have let us know that they will be coming back to school then. On-line lessons will continue for all students from Wednesday 29 April and Year 9 and 10 students who return to school will be supervised while they work in the i-Centre on the online learning programme.  More information will be sent to the students and parents who are returning to school on 29 April.
