Kia ora ,
The Government has announced that New Zealand can safely move out of Alert Level Four lockdown at 11:59pm Monday 27 April.
We are still in Alert Level 4 until then.
The Prime Minister announced New Zealand will then move to Alert Level Three on Tuesday, April 28 for at least two weeks when Cabinet will review its decision again on 11 May. Today's update can be found here.
Alert Level Three - The Golden Rules
- Stay home.
- Work and learn from home if you can.
- Make your business COVID-19 safe.
- Stay regional.
- Keep your bubble as small as possible.
- Wash your hands often with soap. Then dry them.
- If you are sick, stay at home and quickly seek advice from your GP or Healthline about getting a test.
What Alert Level Three means for you
An outline of what your learning and assessments will look like from next Tuesday 28 April through to the end of May will be communicated to you this Friday 24 April.
Your courses will be delivered through online learning until at least the end of May with the exception of some practical hands-on learning that can occur safely in small groups with appropriate physical distancing. If this involves you, you will hear from us directly. Class sizes will be limited to 10 people or less (including the teacher).
A small number of Health & Safety, Infrastructure and IT staff will be on campus to ensure operations can be carried out efficiently and safely. Security continues to operate on campus throughout all Alert Levels.
Other facilities such as Copy Centre, Student Central, Te Puna (B180 - Mt Albert campus) and Social Commons (B510 - Waitākere campus) will remain closed for the duration of Level Three.
Te Puna Waiora (Health Centre) will remain open, however consultations are virtual. Please contact the
team on 0800 10 85 10 first to discuss health and counselling consults available to you.
Please note that Te Puna Waiora is no longer a COVID-19 testing centre.
