WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 15, Term Two, Week One, 1 May 2020
Dear ACG Sunderland Committee I hope like me, you enjoyed the wonderful weather we had over the ANZAC long weekend. It certainly has made the lockdown more palatable. I also hope you received the video link that we put together for the recognition of ANZAC Day. Special thanks for the College Leaders with their assistance in making this video. On Tuesday of this week we had our skeleton staff in going over our processes as we move to Alert Level 3 for the children that are coming back to school on Wednesday. I must say, the whole roll out of this new stage has gone very smoothly with a good number of children carrying on with their learning within the Sunderland building.

I want to highlight Sonya Eldridge for being the face of the process for ACG Sunderland (albeit, cover by a mask). Nevertheless, she is doing a wonderful job of making sure everyone continues to be safe in this period of transition. At this stage, the details of how the Alert Level 2 will affect schools is still not clear and as soon as I have more details, I will be disseminating this information to the community. Announcements will be made on the 11 May; I understand with potential changes either occurring on the 13/14 May or perhaps on Monday 18 May. Since we have moved to Level Three, there is certainly many more people about, Lincoln Road was very busy yesterday afternoon as I headed home. Thank you again for your continued support of ACG Sunderland as we navigate through these challenging times. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. In week three of this Term, the following students will receive the Term One Citizenship: Term 1 Citizenship: 1NC Alysa Chen 1NG Jayden Wei 1RW Alice Meng 2AV Deanna Patel 2-3SB Richard Liu 3WB Nathan Zheng 4LC Gary Gao 5KB Jayana Prasad 6SL Sofia (Yunxi)Zhang
I leave you with this picture of books sent to me by Our Librarian, Mrs Debbie Davies. She also reminded me of the eBook's available online to the community via Blackboard
Stay safe and see you on the other side.
Aspire. Succeed. Respect.

HOUSE WARS
ACG Sunderland 09 838 7070 6 Waipareira Ave, Henderson, Auckland
Tik Tok House War As some of you may already know, ACG Sunderland’s student leaders announced a challenge for all Sunderland students on the Sunderland Houses’ Instagram page (@Sunderland Houses) on Monday. To bring people together during the quarantine period, we would like people to spend some time creating a Tik Tok. Students are encouraged to submit a short video of themselves (or edit their friends in as well) dancing to the Sunderland Houses’ Instagram page which will be judged at the end of the holidays. This contest generates house points and the winners will be contributing to this year’s inter-house competition, therefore we highly recommend students participate to give their House the best chance of winning.
The criteria for these Tik Toks can be found on the Sunderland Instagram page or on Blackboard under announcements. Videos can be submitted through direct message to the Sunderland Houses’ Instagram page or they can be sent to this email: Sunderlandhouses@gmail.com We look forward to seeing your Tik Toks. Good Luck! Sunderland Leadership Team
