Still here

It's week seven of lockdown, 48 days (give or take) of balancing working from home, home schooling and trying to surviving a pandemic.

Here at IT we've not only been continuing at greatly accelerated pace, some of our staff had to put in extra hours and late nights to ensure platforms and services are up and running, thus enabling staff to work from home and students to have access to classes and learning material. Apart from this we had to arrange for students to have laptops delivered, free data provided and sites zero-rated. We'd say that's quite an accomplishment given our current circumstances.

Although most of our staff and students have been supportive and patient, our support staff are still occasionally met with rudeness and unreasonable demands. Please keep in mind that at the moment we are experiencing the same challenges you are.

Until next time, keep safe.
