Distance Learning
From time to time, we may require uri to continue their learning from home, for example, in the case where kura is closed due to health and safety issues, strike or industrial action, or staff professional development.
To do this, every class has a Google Classroom in which the kaiako will be able to share lessons, resources and activities that supplement their teaching and learning programme. Uri are able to contact their kaiako, submit work, ask questions and keep up to date regardless of their location.
Kaiako will provide information to all uri for how to access their respective Google Classrooms.
