N4L filtering at home
Network 4 Learning provide the filtering service for New Zealand schools and has provided an option for families to have this service in their own home. Filtering will provide protection against harmful or distracting content that can negatively impact on learning. Go to https://switchonsafety.co.nz/ for information and instructions.
Distance learning from home:
Students should follow the normal school timetable as much as possible. Some of our teachers have their own family considerations and will have made contact through Google classroom to say when they will be available online.
Each teacher will identify the timetable periods they will be online for instruction. There will be two periods designated per timetable cycle and students are expected to join those at the start of the period.
Work and instructions will be posted on Google Classroom and should be followed.
Internal assessments will continue where possible during distance learning. Senior students who have assessment due dates in the near future are encouraged to complete and submit their work if they can. Where necessary, extensions to deadlines will be given on a case by case basis either during lock down or when we return.
The timing of the practice examinations will be dependent upon when we return to school and our assessment of how effective students’ learning from home has been. At this time, there has been no change to the NZQA external exams in November and December.
Manaakitanga Friday is a catch up day and lessons won’t be posted. There will be challenges students can do as a tutor group on instagram.
