Friday. October 1st

Hi all,

We made it! Today marks the end of a rather turbulent term. Thank you for all your mahi with your children - it hasn't been easy but everyone has shown New Windsor Way values to get through. 

On a positive note, despite the spike in new Delta cases on Wednesday, the government is indicating a drop to Level 2 (with restrictions) next week. It looks like we won't be able to leave Auckland but more businesses can open and we can begin to rebuild the economy. I am looking forward to having a meal out and visiting my barber PLUS school will be open again for all children from October 18th. Let's all cross our fingers and hope the government follows through.

Even though we may not be able to go to our bach out of Auckland these holidays, or visit friends and relatives, I hope you have a relaxing break at home with NO school work. If we move to Level 2 we should be able to move around Auckland more. If so, I plan to head to the beach and do some day trips around our beautiful region.

I'd like to finish this blog with a special thanks to students of Room 15, especially those who attended the zoom meetings regularly. I feel these have made a difference to the lockdown as we have continued to connect. They were also lots of fun! Everyone has worked so hard in trying times and I have enjoyed seeing all your mahi. Stars of this week were Wil, Viral, Farhaan and Harsh. See me next term for your prize boys.

Mr Henderson.
