ONLINE LEARNING
ONLINE LEARNING
From time to time we may need to access online learning if the school is closed for any reason. The learning is provided through Seesaw and Google Drive and is set by classroom teachers. During online learning time teachers will mark work, interact with students and whānau and give feedback on work completed
