ASHS Learning from Home 2021
(August Lockdown Edition)
Kia ora whānau
As you will have heard we are moving to a Level Four lockdown for seven days which means we will be learning from home for the remainder of the week and early next week. If you need to pick up a device or any equipment on Wednesday morning please email kphilipson@ashs.school.nz – the school will be open until 11.00 for pick ups. As we are moving into what might be a longer lockdown, it is important that we start to establish clear routines. The following document is designed to highlight what long term lockdown learning looks like at ASHS.
As a school we are continuing to focus on three areas: wellbeing, connectedness and doing NCEA from home! We recognise that as a senior school our young people want to continue to work toward their academic goals. To this end, we will work with our school leaders and teachers to focus on meaningful learning and assessments that lend themselves to working from home. We will look to manage learning and assessment as effectively as we can and will keep you informed with any updates we receive from the Ministry of Education and NZQA (who manage NCEA) as they come to hand. As it is early in the year we are primarily focused on connecting with you all and engaging in learning!
Tomorrow will be a planning day for staff. Students are welcome to continue their work on their Impact Projects. Your IP Mentor will be in touch if there is a Google Meeting this week, otherwise please ensure you are available for your Tutorial and Special Subject Google Meetings on Thursday!
Read the instructions below to see how to engage with your learning!!
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with your (or your young person’s) Tutor teacher to make a plan if learning from home is a challenge in any way.
And remember…
Be kind.
Stay safe.
Stay home.
Wear a mask if going out!
We got this team!!
