Last day of T1 Update

Hello RVS community in lockdown,

I hope day one has been as good as it can be as we all do our bit to fight COVID-19.  I trust you have all made sense of the information posted below this update.  

The Ministry of Education (MOE) have created a help page:
http://education.govt.nz/school/health-safety-and-wellbeing/pastoral-care-and-wellbeing/talking-to-children-about-covid-19-coronavirus/

and a resource for caregivers,  both are definitely worth reading.
https://learningfromhome.govt.nz
--------------------------------------------------------
The MOE have also provided some great links for other areas in relation to being in self isolation.
