Yesterday's government outline of life under Level 2 has provided this week's challenge for staff and management at the College. Without wanting to preempt Monday's announcement, we are thrilled to be thinking that students will soon be coming back through the gates. Our challenge is to make that experience both safe and positive for all.
Over the next week, we will be focussing, as a staff, on protocols around upholding practical hygiene requirements, minimising risk and seeking to reestablish as much as possible, our college culture and Special Character under the government guidelines. To this end we will be looking at transport, the mechanics of the school day and the continued support of our online presence for those who are unable to come back under Level 2.
For many, this announcement is a portent of things to come, in particular cultural and sporting opportunities. While we are excited to be able to start thinking about sport and culture again, we will be being very much guided by the science in these areas. The New Zealand Sports Council will be taking the lead on sporting activities and we will be getting regular updates from them around advice for schools.

With the possibility of schools reopening in another week, it is timely to mention to you that students are in winter uniform this term. It is my understanding that our uniform supplier Jack Sutherland's is operating a morning contactless delivery service. They can be contacted on Facebook or by ringing 03 4349194 to arrange supply of uniform. Alternatively, you can contact Maria Dickie from the Home and School Uniform Shop on 0272558268
Please also feel free to contact Jo Walshe at jwalshe@stkevins.school.nz if you need help with uniform given these unusual circumstances.
May God bless you.
