Schools returning - is normality?

The Ministry has set up nine learning hubs around the city in school halls, managed by experienced principals and teachers. Year 1-8 students can attend, during normal school hours, and parents can also pick up learning resources for use at home.

After I documented Maths buddies offer of assistance in a previous post it seems that the idea of learning hubs has been established and the Correspondence School has also made all of its resources available online to Christchurch students, without the need to enrol.
It continues to surprise me as to how people have opened their hearts and their properties to supplying accommodation for our most vulnerable. 
With school now returning after so many weeks there is a sense of normality returning. ‘The School Run’ is the daily routine and often grind now comes as a welcome relief.
Normality is still far from the minds of many in Christchurch as the world’s attention shifts north to Japan.
