He Pitopito Kōrero

Update – 2 August 2022
FOREWORD

Nau mai haere mai ki te kaupeka kura tuatoru, welcome to Term 3.

Across the country, the effects of COVID-19 and winter illnesses is palpable. I know that finding relief teachers is difficult, and while this cannot be quickly addressed, I can confirm that the additional relief funding has been further extended for Terms 3 and 4 and we have made the application process simpler – responding to your feedback!

Heading into this new term, we have also worked with the Ministry of Health to develop a winter wellness guide for tamariki and rangatahi. You may wish to share this with parents and whānau.

Though we want to see ākonga present, participating and progressing in their learning, we of course recognise they cannot do that if they are sick. The information in the guide will help parents recognise whether tamariki are well enough to go to school.

I know a number of you have been contacted by very anxious parents who believe some of the disinformation that is circulating. Please reassure them that the information they have seen is not correct – for example, you can assure them that it is illegal to force someone to be vaccinated without their consent. Find further information on misinformation, disinformation and abuse below.

I know the past couple of years have been challenging and we’d like to thank you for your professionalism and endurance and take a look at the leadership and mahi ahead. On Tuesday 16 August, you are invited to hear Education Minister Chris Hipkins and Associate Education Minister Jan Tinetti will speak on ‘navigating leadership’.

You will then be invited to a group kōrero on either Monday 22 August or Tuesday 23 August – this will be an opportunity for you to share best practice with other tumuaki in re-engaging our ākonga in their learning COVID-disrupted world. Details on the hui and how to register are below.

Ngā mihi,

Additional relief funding extension and process change

Extension of non-teaching staff relief funding

Additional relief teacher funding (ARTF) continues to be available for Term 3 and 4.

The process for accessing ARTF has been redesigned for the remainder of this year to make it easier for you to receive reimbursement for the additional costs you may incur. 

Additional relief teacher funding – School Bulletin 15 March

We are anticipating that in Term 3 and Term 4 there will be ongoing high numbers of staff absences due to COVID-19 related absences and other winter illnesses. 

ARTF for teaching staff will be automatic in Terms 3 and 4

From this term until the end of the year, ARTF will be allocated directly to all schools and kura that have incurred relief teacher costs above their 2022 relief teacher funding.

For Terms 3 and 4 in 2022 you will not need to submit claims for ARTF for teaching staff. We will automatically calculate the relief costs incurred during the year and will top up funding for costs that are in excess of the relief teacher funding provided via your operational grant, less any ARTF already paid in 2022.

Schools and kura will be notified of payments. In order to ensure you receive all of the funding you are entitled to it is important that reliever costs are correctly recorded as DDR (day relief) in payroll.

Full details on how this will work, what the funding is, when the additional payments will begin and what to do about Term 1 and Term 2 ARTF applications is available on our website.

Additional relief teacher funding – Ministry of Education

Funding extension and criteria update for non-teaching staff

Relief funding for non-teaching staff absences due to COVID-19 has also been extended to Term 3 and Term 4, and the criteria now includes cover for those suffering from long COVID.

This will remain an application-based process using the existing additional relief (ARF) process.

If you have any queries about ARF, please contact our resourcing team at resourcing@education.govt.nz.

Winter wellness guidance

The Ministry of Health has put a range of information together to support schools manage the impacts of winter illnesses and COVID-19.

From this information we have pulled the key messages for parents, caregivers and whānau into one document which you may wish to send to your community.

Winter wellness guide for tamariki [DOCX, 27 KB]

 

Here are useful online resources from the Ministry of Health on staying healthy, which you may wish to send to parents and whānau.

Reporting positive COVID-19 cases no longer required

Thank you to everyone for reporting positive COVID-19 case numbers to us. This has been of great benefit to inform the Government’s response and understanding of patterns and level of disruption caused by the pandemic.

We know that reporting the cases created additional work for you. We can now draw on the Ministry of Health data and so can remove this requirement. 

Overseas teacher recruitment update

As you know, MBIE recently introduced the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).

Schools and kura who are looking to recruit overseas teachers must be registered with MBIE as an accredited employer prior to being able to recruit an overseas teacher.

Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) – Immigration NZ

The visa is designed to be as simple as possible for migrants relocating to Aotearoa and ensure that employers provide the required level of support to improve the resettlement experience.

A webinar explaining the visa application process is available on our website.

Overseas teacher recruitment webinar – Ministry of Education

New ‘navigator' service

To support schools, kura and teachers located overseas who are interested in moving to Aotearoa, we have established a new ‘navigator’ service.

The service is designed to provide a personal support service to assist you with navigating the steps in the recruitment process. The service is not designed to provide immigration advice.

‘Navigators’ are available Monday to Friday, 9am-4.30pm by phone on 0800 165 225 or +64 446 38466 or via email at teacher.supply@education.govt.nz.

Accelerated NZQA for overseas teachers

We have worked with NZQA to prioritise the evaluation of overseas trained teachers’ qualifications.

If you have an overseas trained teacher with a confirmed job offer who is experiencing delays in having their qualifications assessed, please either advise a navigator or contact NZQA via email at QRSteaching@nzqa.govt.nz. NZQA will ensure that your application receives prompt attention.

You can also find helpful information on our website.

Overseas teacher recruitment – Ministry of Education

Reminder: Financial support if recruiting from overseas

Eligible schools and kura can now apply for financial support to help recruit qualified teaching staff from overseas.

  • The overseas finder’s fee (up to $3,450 GST included) will help eligible schools and kura meet overseas teacher recruitment costs.
  • The overseas relocation grant (up to $5,000 GST included) can be used to offset the cost of relocating to New Zealand for eligible overseas and returning New Zealand teachers.

To apply and see the full criteria, see the TeachNZ website.

Misinformation, disinformation and abuse

We’re aware of a number of examples of disinformation circulating currently about alleged forced vaccinations and school lockdowns, as well as formal-looking certificates that are being shared within local communities and subsequently disrupting schools.

Guidance on how to report misinformation and disinformation can be found on the Unite Against COVID-19 website including:

  • if you see content on social media that you believe to be false or misleading, you can report it to the hosting social media platform
  • report to Netsafe any online harm including bullying and harassment, misinformation and hate speech/extremism.

Report false or misleading information – Unite Against COVID-19

Report harmful content – Netsafe

Misinformation, including leaflets and scams, can also be reported to CERT NZ.

Report COVID-19 misinformation – CERT NZ

  • Contact your regional office if you are unsure if it is misinformation/disinformation.
  • If you receive inappropriate contact online, you can make a non-emergency report to the police on 105. If anyone is in immediate danger, call Police on 111 straight away.

There are many legitimate sites where people can get the facts from. If you are aware of rising levels of misinformation in your community, you may wish to remind them to take care with what they share and encourage them to only go to credible sources of information.

Guidance on responding to false information [PDF, 758 KB]

Cease and desist letters

Cease and desist letters are a reasonably new tactic in New Zealand.

Overseas, including Australia, they are letters handed to government officials, including police, by anti-lockdown groups with the intention to intimidate.

The letters are usually worded in such a way as to avoid reaching the threshold for prosecution as the writer is ‘simply stating the facts’.

If someone receives a cease and desist letter by email, police suggest deleting it. If someone is handed a letter, you could simply decline to take it, or if you wish you could take it and dispose of it.

Sovereign citizens

These persons are bound by the laws of New Zealand like anyone else and do not carry any real or implied authority.

They can be trespassed and asked to leave like any other person.

If anyone has any concerns about feeling intimidated or being approached by people holding these beliefs, please contact the police.

Community access to masks

As well as the face masks you can order for your staff and students, the Government is also increasing accessibility to masks for people in your wider community.

More masks are being provided in the community to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and to protect people who are at higher risk of more severe illness if they contract COVID-19. You do not need to have COVID-19 or have COVID-19 symptoms to get free masks.

You may wish to send the following information on how to access free masks to parents and whānau.

A reminder that you will find information on mask supply for schools on Te Mahau website.

Mask supply for schools – Te Mahau

Free medical masks

You can get free medical face masks by:

  • picking them up from testing centres and collection points alongside your free rapid antigen tests (RATs)
  • visiting a participating pharmacy
  • talking to a participating GP or alternative community healthcare provider.

To order RATs online visit the Ministry of Health website.

Rapid antigen testing (RAT) – Ministry of Health

Alternatively, if you’re unable to order RATs online or visit a participating healthcare provider in person, call 0800 222 478 and select option 3.

For a list of testing locations with free face masks visit the Health Point website.

COVID-19 testing – Health Point

Free P2/N95 particulate respirator masks

In addition to medical masks, P2/N95 particulate respirator masks are also available from the providers mentioned.

P2/N95 masks will be prioritised for those people at higher risk of severe illness if they contract COVID-19. This includes people:

  • with compromised immunity
  • with high-risk medical conditions
  • who are older
  • who live in aged care facilities
  • who are pregnant
  • with a disability
  • who live with mental health conditions or addictions
  • of Māori and Pacific ethnicity
  • who smoke.

For information about people considered at higher risk, see the Ministry of Health website.

Emergency planning: Bomb threats

As you will be aware, there have been several recent cases of schools receiving bomb threats.

Our emergency management plan template has been updated to provide further guidance on what to do if your school receives a bomb threat.

Emergency management plan [DOCX, 763 KB]

The plan contains a checklist that should be printed and kept by the school phone.

  • During the call it is important to try and stay calm and attempt to record as much information as possible about the threat and the caller.
  • After the call you should dial 111 and let the police know what has happened. They should advise you on what to do next, and whether an evacuation will be necessary.

The NZ Police also have a checklist you can use.

Term 2 attendance data collection

We are currently collecting attendance data for Term 2 from all state and state-integrated schools with an electronic attendance register (eAR).

This is an important aspect of our ongoing work on tackling absenteeism and truancy. We use the evidence you provide to monitor trends, understand drivers and target resources.

To achieve the best results, we need data from as many schools as possible, including schools who have good attendance records.

If you have not yet submitted your attendance data, please create the attendance file from your student management system (SMS) for all of Term 2 and send it to us securely through the SMS. Instructions have been emailed to your administrator.

This data is due by Friday 5 August.

Thank you to all schools who have already sent their Term 2 data. You should have already received an attendance (Every Day Matters) report tailored to your school. You may find this helpful in identifying students and groups who might benefit from targeted interventions to improve attendance.

Attendance code resources to support administrators

As extra support for attendance administrators, we would like to make you aware of the resources that are available to support your school to record attendance consistently.

New pay rates for support staff and therapists

Payment of new rates for support staff and therapists as a result of the collective agreements that came into force on 20 June.

Education Payroll have informed us that the pay day for the new rates and payment of arrears is Wednesday 10 August, which effectively means that payment will be in employees’ bank accounts on Tuesday 9 August.

Employees on signed individual employment agreements will be paid as they are received from and including pay period 10.

Ongoing funding will be provided to cover the increased costs of the settled support staff and kaiārahi i te reo and therapists’ collective agreements. This funding will be paid as part of your operational grant instalments, with the first instalment scheduled for 1 October.

Full details on the support staff and kaiārahi collective agreement settlements were detailed in Circular 2022/04 available here:

Circular 2022/04 – Ministry of Education

Funding update

We will provide additional pay equity funding and ongoing funding required by translating covered employees from the old pay scale to the new pay equity pay scale.

The initial settlement funding instalment on 1 October will include estimated funding for covered employees, including back payment (for the period 20 August 2021 to 30 September 2022).

Following your school receiving this additional funding, the covered workforce will receive their first payment at the new pay equity rates (including payment for the period from 20 August 2021 to 30 September 2022) on Tuesday 18 October.

Further information about settlement funding can be found on our website.

Updated property occupancy document

The property occupancy document (POD) has been updated and the notification published in the New Zealand Gazette. School boards must now comply with the updated POD.

The POD is a legally binding document that sets out the general roles and responsibilities of boards and the Ministry in managing land, buildings and facilities occupied by boards.

There are three main changes:

  • the structure and language of the POD has been simplified to make it clearer to read and understand the board’s obligations
  • sections have been updated to reference current legislation such as the Education and Training Act 2020 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015
  • the legal proceedings section relating to property has been updated.   

Take this opportunity to refresh your understanding of obligations that apply to boards.

You can find the updated POD on our website.

School name changes

It’s important that any changes to schools’ names are approved and registered with us to ensure that stakeholders and agencies are using the correct name when referring to them or referencing them in communications or reports.

To support this, we advise that if your school board wants to change the name of your school (including adding macrons to the current name), you should talk with your education adviser. 

There is a simple process you’ll need to follow – your local Te Mahau team can support your board through the steps.

Reminder: Stand-downs, suspensions, exclusions, and expulsions guidelines

A reminder when you are accessing the stand-downs, suspensions, exclusions and expulsions (SSEE) guidelines that any references to the Education Act 1989 should be replaced with the relevant sections in the new Education and Training Act 2020.

Stand-downs, suspensions, exclusions and expulsions guidelines – Ministry of Education

You will find references to the Education Act 1989 in the two guidelines PDF documents, including the model letters provided in the appendix of Part 2: Good practice.

You will also find references to the act in any hardcopies of the guidelines you may be using.

The guidelines will be updated in 2023 to include information about the Education and Training Act 2020.

Reducing climate change risks to coastal schools

We are looking for principals from coastal schools to join a reference group as we work to understand the risks to their schools from sea level rise and flooding.

Many of the 2,100 state schools we oversee across Aotearoa are near the coast. These locations put them at potential risk from sea level rise and flooding.

Using data from a variety of sources and historical flooding information, we’ve identified 103 coastal schools – 50 in the South Island and 53 in the North Island – as ‘at risk’. Each location has different geographical conditions, and we can’t predict exactly what effect climate change will have on each location. Overall, the risks are increasing.

The coastal flood risk reference group will be composed of a small number of principals from the 103 schools. The group will:

  • provide information on practical and operational matters related to schools
  • raise and monitor any risks and issues
  • comment on proposed planning and communications
  • advise on potential concerns
  • be advocates for the coastal flood risk management programme.

If you are interested in being part of the reference group, please email coastal.schools@education.govt.nz with your name, school, and contact details.

What’s happening?

We have begun conducting a pilot study of flood risks at five schools in Wellington and five schools on the West Coast of the South Island. The ten schools selected provide us with a variety of physical settings, a combination of open coast and harbour locations, and a mix of school sizes.

The information will help us to develop and refine our methodology, and to give advice on mitigation options for the at-risk schools.

For the complete list of 103 schools and more information about this programme, visit our web page:
