Hornby High School – Learning from our lockdown
In March 2020 New Zealand went into a nationwide lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This meant that ākonga could not attend schools and educators worked hard to deliver remote learning.
In this video, the community of Hornby High School describe their experiences of the lockdown. Find out what worked, what was challenging, and what new discoveries were made about teaching and learning that are shaping their future decision making.
"There's a lot of conversation going on here now around what we're going to take forward from here ... I think the agency thing is critical and I've already started to talk with our teachers here around what that might look like."
Robin Sutton, Principal.
