WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 18, Term Two, Week Nine, 1 July 2022
Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland, At the conclusion of Term Two 2022, I wish to acknowledge at the outset, just what a challenge this term has been for everyone. I think we all thought that, as the Government concluded its policy on lockdowns, that everything would go back to normal. However, the Omicron variant of COVID has changed the landscape completely, with over a million New Zealanders contracting Omicron already this year, and many staff, students and parents of Sunderland have been affected by this variant, too. I would say that every family at school has been affected, putting pressure on even the most basic of family functions. As you know, my family has not been immune to these challenges either, and so we have witnessed first-hand what everyone globally is dealing with. Given the pandemic swirling around Auckland, I have just been so very impressed with how the staff and students have simply ‘just got on with it’ and navigated around the challenges facing them.
Please be mindful when dropping off and collecting children that neighbouring businesses carparks are NOT to be used by ACG Sunderland parents. Please also ensure that children are walking along the footpaths and not walking through the carparks. This is a safety concern for us here at ACG Sunderland and the local business owners.
