Naenae College's Continuing Failures: Another Week of Disruption for Students and Families

It appears Naenae College's leadership, under Principal Chris Taylor, is still struggling to manage basic operational issues. Following last week's announcement, the school is once again forced to roster students home due to high levels of staff sickness. This ongoing problem raises serious questions about the administration's ability to maintain a healthy and stable environment for both students and teachers.

Incompetence and Poor Planning: This situation highlights the administration's failure to effectively plan and manage their staff resources. The recurring need to send students home suggests a deeper issue within the school's operations and raises concerns about the administration's competence.

Impact on Students' Education: The quality of education at Naenae College is clearly being compromised. The constant disruption is not conducive to learning, and while the school claims that rostering home will maintain educational quality, it’s evident that students are missing out on crucial face-to-face interaction and instruction.

Lack of Consideration for Families: The short notice given to parents and guardians shows a lack of respect and consideration for the challenges families face in arranging last-minute childcare or supervision. This ongoing disruption places additional stress on families already coping with the demands of supporting their children’s education from home.

Selective Measures: The exclusion of SNU students from rostering home raises questions about equity and inclusivity. Are these students' needs being properly addressed, or are they being overlooked in the school's scramble to manage this crisis?

A Pattern of Failure: This isn't the first time Naenae College has failed to manage its operations effectively, and it likely won’t be the last. The repeated rostering home is just another example of the administration's inability to provide a stable and supportive learning environment.

It's time for Naenae College's leadership to take accountability and implement lasting solutions instead of resorting to temporary fixes that inconvenience students and families. The community deserves better.
