Kia Ora Matt,
Happy to support this, it seems as though there are benefits involved with having this put in
place. Especially within your context.
Before moving ahead with the decision it would be good to consider consulting with the
1982
community. Is this something that they would welcome? and logistically would it be something
that your whānau would support?
Act
I would be keen for the school to monitor the progress of the students engagement, and make
sure that adjustments and changes are made as necessary. If the students are not engaging with
their work, the school would need to be able to make a decision around addressing this possible
concern.
Nga mihi,
Mitchell

Subject: Proposal re One-Day-A-Week Online Learning
Released
Dear Matt and the Senior Leadership Team
Proposal re One-Day-A-Week Online Learning
Mask wearing has made teaching and learning incredibly challenging. It is

challenging physically and emotionally. All the teachers and students have been
struggling, especially in the heat. Furthermore, in wet or very cold weather, we will
be unable to take any ‘mini-breaks’ because we will be trapped in class. Students
and teachers have struggled with headaches, nausea and breathlessness. Mask
wearing all day every day is not sustainable and could lead to serious absenteeism.

Therefore, I would like to propose that we move to a model where we have one
day a week that is exclusively devoted to online learning. This has a range of
significant advantages:
1982

1.   Online learning will allow teachers and students to communicate more
easily. Faces are expressive, and we are missing facial expressions in the
Act
classroom right now. Voices too will be easier to hear without the muffling
of the masks.

2.   Single days of online learning will help to prepare students for the longer
periods of online learning, which might well be ahead of us. We can
monitor student engagement online and see the students the very next day
to find out what were their barriers to learning.

Information
3.   Students and teachers will appreciate the break from wearing a mask. It is
genuinely quite difficult for everyone to breath. One mask-free day a week
will bring much needed respite for us all. We will return to class feeling
refreshed and ready to face another day with masks.

Official
4.   We can easily keep to the timetable that is already established and all work
and learn from home. All teachers and students would find this day of e-
learning massively productive. It has the potential to make a real difference
the
to student progress.

5.   Online learning creates greater flexibility, giving students the opportunity to
learn at their own pace. Under this model, students would have one day
under
where they can concentrate on longer projects and assessments, without
the distraction of travel or moving to another subject.

Those students who are unable to learn digitally from home could be given hard
copies of the work the day before or earlier in the week so that they can continue
with their learning.

Released
Some families may prefer to continue to send their sons and daughters to college,
particularly those in Year 9 who are too young to be home alone. Teachers could
be rostered on to stay at school to supervise those students in a single venue like
the library, while the students continue to ‘attend’ classes digitally.

Practical courses could use these online learning days for the theoretical parts of
their programmes. Teachers can deliver ideas more effectively using TEAMS, being
able to speak clearly and use the requisite facial expressions. Students can share
with others in the class via their cameras and will not be encumbered by a mask.

This one-day-a-week online learning model has been adopted in other countries. In
Singapore, for example, one day a week of e-learning was used to help students
prepare for longer lockdowns. This blended model has been a real success and
research has shown that students love it.
1982

The day for e-learning must be chosen carefully, of course. I think Thursday would
be perfect. It is midweek and does not interfere with Ako on Tuesday, PLD onAct
Wednesday, or Hapori on Friday. We could call it Theeeesday, the e-learning day.

If something is already on the calendar for a Thursday, those events could still go
ahead for a small group, or if it was something for the whole school, we could shift
the on-line day to the Wednesday for that week.

I hope you will seriously consider this proposal. One day a week of online learning
would significantly improve the well-being of staff and students alike.

Kia ora koutou
An extremely busy time for everyone.  I just wanted to follow up on a few common questions
and issues arising.
1982
As you can see we are now experiencing a spike in positive Covid cases nationally and across our
region.  An increasing number of these involve young people and staff at Early Learning Services
Act
and Schools. There is updated guidance on identifying ‘close contacts’  to reduce the impact on
the rest of the school – with the aim of keeping schools open.  We will provide an update on this
at the TEAMS ‘Drop in Sessions’ planned for  next week (links are down the page)
Due to the huge increase in demand we have updated our system for contacting us around
positive cases.  To contact a SPOC now use 0800 484 815 – calls will cascade through our list
of available  SPOCs to ensure it is answered. We appreciate your patience.  This number is
manned from 8.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m.   There is also now a designated email
[email address] This is information is being updated on the website too
Information
Additional Support
We recognise that Covid has put the sector under considerable pressure.  This coupled with our
new approach to working in different ways under Te Mahau has seen us create the first of a new
short term role to add to the tool kit of support for our school leaders. I am thrilled to welcome
Mark Brown to the role of Principal Advisor (Sector Support).  Mark has just finished as principal
Official
of Newtown School and has extensive experience working in a range of school settings as well as
previous senior roles in the Ministry of Education.  Mark’s role will be an additional ‘tool’ in our
regional toolkit and where required will work to complement the support you already receive
the
from your Education Advisor.
Staff gatherings
We are seeing a number of ‘staff to staff’ close contact cases in schools, due to people sitting
together inside for lunch or being in close proximity unmasked. This is a friendly reminder that
under
staff should continue to maintain the minimum 1m distance when gathering in the staffroom
and avoid celebrating special occasions together.
Unmasked students
This is a growing issue and we acknowledge the difficulty this is causing schools. You can remind
your staff that there are many layers of protection in schools – grouping certain classes together
(and not mixing with others); good hand hygiene, staff being vaccinated, some students being
Released
vaccinated, other people wearing masks (teachers and staff), public health measures such as
people staying home when sick etc and socially distancing.
Infrastructure Sector Forums about ventilation
There is a forum being held this afternoon Wednesday 23 February from 4pm-5pm. You can
register for this even using this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/infrastructure-sector-forum-

ventilation-qa-tickets-264864535957 . We expect this to be a topic of interest and will be useful for
school staff that have a role in maintaining, assessing, or improving ventilation such as your
caretaker or maintenance person.

Physical and cultural activities onsite / use of playgrounds
Playgrounds can be used (maintain good hand hygiene) but consider rostering use by different
groups to minimise congestion. We are expecting more information on extra-curricular sport
and cultural activities in today’s Bulletin.

Exercising and singing must be held outdoors
Physical education classes and break time activities can include access to sports equipment, but
1982
hygiene practices should be observed before and after playing with equipment.
Physical distancing is not possible in some outdoor sporting activities. In these situations, extra
emphasis on handwashing and drying before and after activities.
