Kia ora koutou,
Following yesterday’s government update regarding Omicron and the decision to move from the orange to the red traffic light setting within 48 hours of Omicron being detected in the community, something that is looking highly likely in the coming days. We have liaised with all regions and with their full support have made the proactive decision to postpone all 2022 Apollo Projects Junior Festivals. As per the current red traffic light restrictions, events can only accommodate a maximum of 100 people making the running of a large event like the Junior Festival extremely difficult.
A Covid Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, but Covid was here,
So we all had to stay extra cautious this year.
Our masks were all hung by the chimney with care
In case Santa forgot his and needed a spare.
With Covid, we couldn’t leave cookies or cake
So we left Santa hand sanitizer to take.
The children were sleeping, the brave little tots
