The School is closed for the next 4 weeks,  pending further notice. 

Messages from our students – coping with the lockdown:

• Hello everyone! I hope you are staying safe. I'm using this time to teach my nephew useful life skills like how to burp on command. I've also been tuning in to the free daily webinars on netofknowledge.com. Hopefully we can get back to school soon! (Collin B)

• it's a very mixed bag, I think I'm doing as well as can be expected and the next person. Not loads in the pantry but a lot growing in the gardens.

• I  am all good but very busy with my work due to this coronavirus. I am still working full time as I am an essential worker. I hope I can find free time to write my school assignments but I will try my best.

• Our family all good. I hope you and your family good.

• All going well here and pantry is fully stocked….working my way through case reports and getting loads of study done so not completely wasted.

• I have been staying with my family during the lockdown days.

• Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern. Hope you are well and safe too.

• I am all good these days. Just almost cost all my time to cook all the day and take care of my family members.

• I’m really enjoyed staying home with my family  and we have a lot of food so not worrying.

• I'm doing great! The lockdown hasn't changed my lifestyle too much. Still studying to prepare for exams and just doing readings but I've been working out too. Days are still busy despite everything and the weather is beautiful so can go outside in the gardens too! 

Greetings!

The Prime Minister announced on Saturday that the coronavirus problem has been raised to level 2. Human contacts are to be kept minimum.

In view of the development and following consultation with the staff, I hereby confirm the decision on the following action:

1) postpone the delivery of classes and clinics of the last two weeks of term one to the first two weeks of term two

2) this means no classes and clinics for the next two weeks which are followed by three weeks of term break, a total of 5 weeks of break where teachers and students don't come to campus

3) term two will now end at the end of the second week of the 3-week mid-year break.

This applies to all courses,  including the online courses. 

I appreciate it's not an easy decision to make. However, at this time of uncertainty,  it's important that the wellbeing of our staff, students and patients must come first. There's enough disruption to your lives at the moment,  especially if you also have family and friends overseas who are affected by the pandemic. Not having to deal with the pressure of study may hopefully enable you to focus on your wellbeing and those close to you. 

I am available for you to contact, via email or 021 382888.

Thank you and take care.
