Information sheets on coronavirus
With the start of Semester 1 next week and the arrival of thousands of students across both our campuses, we’ll be equipping our Ask Me desk at our Mt Albert campus and Student Central at our Waitākere campus with information sheets on coronavirus. Although there have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus in New Zealand to date, we are continuing to take a precautionary approach to safeguard our students, staff and visitors.
The information sheets we’ll be offering include personal hygiene measures recommended by the Ministry of Health in English and Simplified Chinese, and a factsheet issued by the New Zealand Government. Please direct any students who may have non-course related questions to our Ask Me desk at our Mt Albert campus and Student Central at our Waitākere campus, or to the official websites including Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and World Health Organization.
If any students have any immediate health concerns or questions, please advise them to contact Te Puna Waiora Health Centre on 0800 10 85 10.
Adjustments to our pōwhiri process
Te Tumu Glenn Mckay updated staff yesterday on adjustments to our pōwhiri process. We’ll continue to keep you updated on any further changes to protocol around large gatherings or situations which we believe may pose unnecessary risks.
Care packages for self-isolated students
Care packages have now been delivered to all our students in self-isolation in Auckland and we are continuing to receive donations of food and other items from local businesses.
Support for teachers of affected students
Individualised emails have now gone out to all teaching staff with students impacted by self-isolation or travel delays, offering support and guidance from Te Puna Ako on remote teaching and learning tools.
