Kia Ora MacKillop Whanau,

We hope you are all doing well. We have had a very good response to learning pack pick ups. However, there are still a few to be picked up. Please contact your child's teacher if you need help arranging a time. While we continue on in lockdown please, if possible, have your child join us on line during our daily sessions. The links are posted every morning in their Seesaw account at 8:55 am and 9:25 am - there you will also find the schedule. If you cannot join us on line, please have your child work through the hard learning pack. There are many valuable learning activities there to help your child maintain their learning. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in contact if you need assistance.

Stay safe and stay positive!!!

Arohanui,

Ms. Ilx and Miss Burns

In the meantime, do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions or concerns. We are happy to help.
