Please continue to look after yourselves, your whanau and our tamariki.

Kia ora koutou katoa,

As we wake up to our usual Sunday mornings only to find the serenity on our streets and in our communities along with the fear of an unknown with a raging delta variant of the Corona virus.

Today is Day 5 of the nationwide lockdown and by the sound of it this is going to be a long haul for all of us.

Whilst we have several unknowns, one thing I do want to assure you is that the entire team @ Rainbow Corner is by your side. Please do not hesitate to contact any of your local Rainbow Corner team members anytime that you feel that you need any support.
We will get through this together as a team no matter what it takes.

Once again as the landscape changes quickly, we will keep you appraised of the changes only once confirmed by the official sources. Please stay patient and don't get caught up in any rumours.

The PORSE virtual playgroup is up and running so please do use it for our tamariki as they a lot of support, nurturing and care. Your Kaiako are doing a fantastic job by sharing a variety of activities everyday. Please do take time to use them for our tamariki and also don't forget to encourage your Kaiako.

Stay safe, look after yourselves and be kind to each other.

Kia kaha team..our best wishes and unconditional support is always there with you and your whanau.

Listen to local Civil Defence authorities and follow any instructions regarding evacuation of your area

Stay out of the water (sea, rivers and estuaries, this includes boats)

This warning will remain in effect until a cancellation message is issued by the National Emergency Management Agency

Stay safe and take care of yourselves.

Ka kite,
Rrahul Dosshi

Home People near the coast in the following areas must MOVE IMMEDIATELY to the nearest high ground, out of all tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible. DO NOT STAY AT HOME.

Kia ora koutou,
The latest wave of Tsunamis to hit NZ is devastating.
As these Earthquakes have been large, please expect aftershocks. Please reassure your families and whanau now that we are closely monitoring the situation and that we are available for support even if we are not on the ground.
Ensure your emergency kits are available now (out of an abundance of caution)
Have a quick quiet rethink to ensure that you understand the situation and know what to do in an earthquake.
The BoP team have already moved swiftly and our Bayfair Centre has been evacuated out of precaution as they are in a yellow zone. Our QA Assurance Managers are working closely with them to ascertain their safety.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Centre Supervisors, QA Managers or myself if we can be of any assistance whatsoever.

Kia Kaha...We’ve got this team!

Attention all whanau and parents of The Rainbow Corner Centres!

Covid-19 Alert Level 3 applies to the Auckland region from Sunday, 11.59pm the 14th Feb until midnight, the 17th Feb. Alert level-2 applies to the rest of NZ for the same period of time.

We have received guidelines from the Ministry of Education, and would like to share with you these important details for the Auckland region at Alert Level-3:

1. Early Learning Services are open for children who need to attend.
Any child who can’t be supervised at home by an appropriate person, needs to be able to attend early learning.

2. There is no such thing as an “essential service/business” at alert level 3 (only at alert level 4)
At Alert Level 3 a large range of businesses and services are operating (including early learning services and schools) which means that parents and caregivers may be required to go to work, rather than work from or stay at home.

3. Bubbles will be put in place for children attending Early Learning centres.
Bubbles of no more than 20 children will need to be formed and keep a 2-metre distance from other bubbles. Where possible, teachers stay with the same bubble of children.

4. Services will close for cleaning and contact tracing if there is a confirmed case who was infectious when at the service.

5. Sick people must stay at home.
They should seek medical advice if they have COVID-like symptoms and get tested if advised to do so. If that person displays relevant symptoms of COVID-19, tests positive for COVID-19, or has been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, they must self-isolate.

6. Fundamental public health measures continue to apply:
• Adults should physically distance by 1 metre inside and 2 metres outside at Alert Level 3
• Hand hygiene
• Cough and sneeze etiquette
• Regularly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces (daily at Alert Level 3).

Take care everyone, we will update you if Ministry of Education updates us with anything further. Thank you!
