Information for parents
Hi everyone,
We hope you are doing well during this difficult and challenging time. Our staff have been very busy learning new skills and familiarizing themselves with remote online learning platforms to ensure that your child's learning continues from home.
Over the years our school has implemented Self Organised Learning Environments (S.O.L.E.) which provides students with opportunities for greater choice, control and agency in how they learn. They have been learning how to take greater ownership of their own learning so when they are learning at home encourage them to take risks and have a go at everything.
Our main remote learning app is called SeeSaw. This platform can be accessed on any device from home which has an internet connection. All our teachers are currently developing various online learning tasks for our students.
We will also utilize Zoom and SKYPE for business as other methods of communication and conference calling between teacher/students and for teacher planning and collaboration.
Schools are scheduled to re-open on Wednesday April 15th. This is highly unlikely and students will very likely be learning remotely from home. Please ensure that your child/children are supported in their learning...and be patient as it is a stressful
time for them and for you.
If you are aware of families that do not have access to the internet please contact the school and we will arrange for a pack of learning tasks to be available.
