Stay Safe when Celebrating Eid

We know that tomorrow is a really special day for lots of you as it is Eid.

​Usually Eid is a time when you can visit friends and family and celebrate altogether. Unfortunately this year is going to look different and I just want to remind you that we are still in lock down, we still have to stay home even for Eid.

This may feel strange but it is to keep everybody safe and healthy.

Even if you do feel healthy and don’t have any symptoms we need to follow the government guidelines. If we do this now it will mean we can see our family and friends sooner once lock down is over.

You can still celebrate this special day, but just make sure it is within your homes and with the family members that you live with. We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating and it brings joy in this difficult time.

Take Care
Stay Safe

Learning from Home

Some background information

---

Responsive & Interactive

Our school has made plans for remote learning to ensure students can access the curriculum and stay in touch with their classmates and teacher.

Teachers have completed their planning for the first 5 weeks of term three and have adapted these plans into our online learning platform. ​

Emotional support

Students will miss that personal connection with their teacher, friends and classmates. Our school has ensured that the platforms we are using for remote learning provide that connection.

​Students will be able to see and hear their teacher and classmates.

Assessment & reporting

Our remote learning platforms allow for online assessments and also other assessments that teachers develop.

Feedback in the learning process is important so our teachers will incorporate feedback to students.

​Teachers and students will also be able to provide each other with feedback using the apps and referencing Success Criteria and Rubrics.

 Daily Timetable & structure

Structure is important for students and their parents. We will provide a structure for daily learning for students to follow and which parents can oversee.

​A daily timetable for students will be developed.

Parent involvement

Parents are not teachers. All we ask from our parents is that you support your child to engage in the learning tasks set by the teacher.

It would be great if you explained things that your child is unsure of and answer any of their questions and assist them in some tasks.

It is up to each family to decide the best place for online learning. It might be the bedroom, lounge room or kitchen table. It depends on your circumstances.

Communicating with your child's teacher

Our Seesaw platform has in-built communication  with parents/family so you can keep in touch with the class teacher.
