BREAKING: New Zealand has paused the travel bubble with Western Australia.

The state goes into a three-day lockdown at midnight after a man tested positive for Covid-19 days after leaving managed isolation.

@andrew_murray33 @Dianne_Khan Whats that Mr Murray?

@creativecatjk @TimWilsonMP Rightfully there is concern about the recent guidelines that say students have lower infection rates and they don't tend to pass the virus onto adults. Marist community would say differently?

@tintinskywalker @learn_nservices Thank for that whakaaro about tangata whenua and manuhiri. I used that with my staff today. It helped frame the thinking for our staff about working with and alongside our community.

One hour into distance learning....no-one is knocking on the office door... I love it when a plan comes together! Kia Kaha WHS!

The wellness of children, whanau and teachers paramount.

[martyn knapton @buildmearocket]

@Dianne_Khan Yes, it's really hard. A focus on well being right now but a opportunity to use this as a learning opportunity as educators to re-evaluate what we need to start valuing. Lockdown has highlighted digital inequity and an inequity in dispositions that support success in this space.

[martyn knapton @buildmearocket]

@Dianne_Khan Yup, ability to select the tools that are important and to be critical in that process is a skill students need. The spaces we give to teach these in schools is minimal which means many students are unprepared for high levels of agency and self-management.

@maurieabraham @DisruptEDNZ @edchatNZ Time for a conversation about what we really need to equip our young people with for success in 21st Century.
