The theme provides an opportunity to reflect on preparations for different journeys. For many of us we take foods that are hard to source to where we are travelling to eg. Samoan Language Week. If we move into Level 3 lockdown we will not be issuing Chrome books to Year 9 and 10 students but will instead provide paper based resources. We would suggest they stay at home while waiting for test results to come back.Last week we had a number of staff who were tested and returned negative results. Tālofa!
