Students Working From Home


Dear Parents and families,

This has been a challenging time for many and our hearts and prayers go out to those families in our community that are struggling the most.

It is important we stay safe, ensure we stay home and keep our bubbles safe.

As many families know, over the past 5 days, schools across New Zealand have been teaching on-line. As we come to grips with what this looks like for our school and community, it has been evident that many of our students who do have devices and access to the internet are not accessing their time tabled classes and lessons. It is important that they stay connected so when school resumes they are not behind- more so important for our senior students being assessed for NCEA.

Please ensure your students are connecting with their teachers. Bell times are below. If anything they should be working to these times.

Access to devices and the internet at home

The school is working on contacting parents and families who do not have devices and or access to the internet – the Ministry of Education are working with schools so please be patient with us on this. We have collated and collected information to date – please send the following information to office@tangaroa.school.nz a.s.a.p
  • your child’s full name,
  • tutor class,
  • Does your child has a device e.g chromebook, laptop?
  • Is there internet at home?
It is important your children connect to their subject teachers during this time for their learning to continue.
Be safe and take care.
