Next few weeks of learning:

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all staying safe in your bubbles and enjoying time with your families.

Term 2 kicks off again on Wednesday 15th April. This will be a new chapter in education and our teachers have been getting structures in place for learning. I have included a letter with links to some helpful sites.

You may also have seen a number of government initiatives that will further support learning at home.

Feel free to contact me should you need any support or guidance with learning during this time. My email address is principal@southmak.school.nz
