Kia ora ACNZ team,
As we are aware,
New Zealand will remain at the existing Alert Levels until Sunday.
Auckland will stay at Alert Level 3 until 11:59pm on 30 August 2020.
The rest of the country will remain at Alert Level 2.
Due to Alert Level changes and the next GOVT announcement scheduled for
September 6, the decision has been made for ACNZ Staff and Students to remain
working and learning from home until September 11th 2020. The
decision was made to remain working and learning using online platforms to
minimise disruption while we wait for September 6th Govt COVID-19 status
review.
However, we understand that there are students who require library
services and resources and ACNZ Staff who may require a suitable work
place to plan, prepare and access resources. Therefore, ACNZ

September 2nd (Wednesday) from; 9am - 4pm

September 9th (Wednesday) from; 9am - 4pm
Staff are welcome to come into the office to work, plan and
prepare during opening times and hours. Can I please ask, if
you are planning to visit or work on site; can you please inform reception@acnz.ac.nz

Youth Guarantee; ACNZ YG Programme Manager is working with YG
Partnership sites to confirm if hosting sites will reopen under Alert Level 2
or remain closed. If YG partnership sites remain closed, both YG
tutors and students will remain working and learning from home until
further notice. If YG sites reopen, the hosting site/tutors/programme manager
will communicate with YG team and students to ensure COVID-19 rules and
regulations are in place for learning sites and spaces.

the instructions of their hosting church College co-ordinator to ensure
safe learning and environments comply with COVID-19 rules
and regulations.
I will send further communication and instructions to ACNZ Staff post
COVID-19 September 6th announcement.
