Principal's Comment

Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

As another rather surreal week draws to a close, I want to congratulate the students of our school for their ingenuity, their willingness to participate in their learning and their ability to adapt quickly and cheerfully to their new online learning environments.
I have been personally monitoring the online classes and the level of engagement is impressive. I would like to once again thank those parents and caregivers who are encouraging their students to participate to the best of their ability.

Looking forward to Alert Level 3, we  currently have no students arriving back on the school site next week, but we are making preparations for a gradual scaling up of student numbers as more businesses go back to work.   Keeping the bubbles realistic and operable is our main focus going forward, so please share any information you have regarding your bubbles with us which may be pertinent to how we divide up the students at school.  For example, if you share transport or child care with other families that would include our students.  The more we can replicate your home bubble, the safer we can keep our staff and students.
Next week we will survey our community to see how circumstances are changing.
Finally, if anyone is having issues with internet provision, Oamaru Public Library has access to low - cost mobile data plans through "Skinny Jump".  Please contact the office if you or anyone you know would benefit from this offer.

May God bless you.
