Kia ora neighbours. A teacher at Avondale College has tested positive for Covid-19.

The 25-year-old woman is one of seven in the community who have now tested positive for the virus (as of 1pm on Wednesday - this number is expected to grow).

Principal Lyndy Watkinson told the school community further information would be shared as it was received.

“My thoughts and best wishes are with the staff member concerned, and I thank them for acting responsibly and following all health advice,” she wrote in an email.

It is not yet clear whether the teacher was at school while infectious, however the Auckland Regional Public Health Service said all staff and students (about 2500) were considered close contacts.

Students and staff were now required to remain in self-isolation at home for 14 days.

✨Light hearted fun for this wet Friday night - ENJOY✨
While the whole world was watching the Olympics from a distance, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) were much farther—they weren’t even under the same sky. So as not to wallow in FOMO, crew members of various space agencies competed in what has been considered the “first-ever Space Olympics.”

Split into two teams, Team Dragon (after SpaceX’s Crew Dragon) and Team Soyuz (after Russia’s Soyuz), Space Olympians went head to head in space-exclusive sports of ‘Synchronized Space Swimming’, ‘Lack-of-Floor Routine’, ‘No-Handball’, and ‘Weightless Sharpshooting’, with microgravity being their greatest obstacle.
