Remote/Home Learning

Having discussed Remote/Home Learning with a number of my Principal colleagues in the area,  I am confident that our students, families and teachers are delivering quality learning programs to effectively support learning continuity for our students. Our school community has once again worked together, making the best of a challenging situation, to maximise learning for our students.

We all eagerly await for the return of onsite learning. 

I wish to acknowledge and thank parents of our foundation, year 1 and  2 students for their efforts in supporting their child’s learning. In particular parents of the younger students are supervising and monitoring their child’s learning  more closely as students of this age are not able to work independently for long periods of time and require more assistance with technology. The junior teachers are providing detailed and clear instructions for learning and the quality of work submitted has been pleasing. The junior classes will begin Google check in meets from Monday- Thursday, to provide a social connection to peers and their teacher.

Well done to our year 3, 4, 5 & 6 students who have enthusiastically engaged in their learning in Google Classrooms. Daily Google Meets have supported students to tune into tasks and connect with peers. Thank you to parents who have supported students with technology and following their daily timetable.

Our staff continue to go above and beyond the normal expectations of their daily work. Teachers are rostered on to supervise students at school, along with providing and giving feedback on learning programs for their own class. The delivery of learning in a digital format requires extensive preparation and is not the preferred mode of delivery for our staff. Our Educational Support Staff this week will google meet  with  groups of students they normally work with in the classroom, along with also supporting the supervision of students onsite at school.

School Closure Day- Postponed

The advertised school closure day on Tuesday 15 June will not go ahead. I am hopeful students will be back onsite at school and I do not want any further disruptions to their learning. School for students whether Remote/Home Learning or back onsite at school will take place on Tuesday 15 June.

Student Reports

Student reports will now be sent home on Friday 30 July. This will allow teachers more time to complete assessments when the students return to school.

Parent/Teacher/Student Meetings

These meetings will now take place on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 August. A link to book these meetings will be published in the week 10 newsletter.
