ACG SUNDERLAND
WINGS NEWSLETTER Vol 19, Term One, Week Four, 17 February 2023
Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland, As we are all aware, Cyclone Gabrielle has hit hard throughout the Central and Northern regions of the North Island. Particularly, Gisborne and the Hawkes Bay. I heard on the radio this morning that over 10,000 people are displaced in the Hawkes Bay and this impact is perhaps greater than the Christchurch earthquakes. Back here in West Auckland, I am conscious that several families from ACG have been affected by flooding, landslides and logistics being completely wiped out. I have had contact with people in KareKare and Piha and currently those families and children cannot leave their settlements. Some families have reached out already, and we are offering posted work on Blackboard and ClassDojo and some hybrid-type lessons. However, we are aware some have no power and online lessons will be impossible. To those families, we can make up packs of work – photocopied here if need be. Please make contact if you can. I appreciate that the vast majority of our families are back at school face to face and are enjoying the familiar routine of school.
