Website and newsletter developments.
It is important to encourage all your teachers to join now to the GCSN website www.gcsn.school.nz . The GCSN team will be developing the site to ensure it remains an up-to-date and valuable communication portal and source of digital learning ideas and developments. Keep a close watch on it over the next few weeks.
With this development in mind, these newsletters will be sent out every two weeks rather than every week from this date.
