Year 11-13 ClassroomNZ2020 Online Courses
You may be interested to know that we are using ClassroomNZ2020 to support some of our students in areas we think will support their learning this year. The Ministry of Education is making available ClassroomNZ2020, a new platform with a range of online courses, as an interim support for learners until the end of February 2021. These online courses were developed by Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura) and can help support students’ learning as they transition back to learning in school after the disruption of COVID-19. ClassroomNZ2020 allows personalised learning. NCEA students can access the online courses in which they have been enrolled by their teachers anytime anywhere. They may use the online resources to review learning in preparation for school assessment or NCEA external examinations, or to consolidate learning disrupted by COVID-19. More information for students can be found here: Te Pātaka Owaka - Our Community Pantry
We’re asking for responses to our anonymous survey about Te Pātaka Owaka - Our Community Pantry. This short (2 minute) survey has been created by a group of students who would like to hear your feedback on the project, and how they can improve it. You can complete the survey here: forms.gle/3GYduqxKg1r161EV8 School Photo Day
