We are living through some of the most challenging times I have faced as an educator, as well as a mother, sister and daughter. I am so grateful to all our families who have been doing extraordinary learning with their children, while juggling work and the demands of family. From all the staff, our deepest thanks for all that you do. We are safer in our homes, with minimal movement in the community.
I have seen amazing levels of engagement from Preschool to Year 6 with the huge variety of activities our teachers are planning for our students; science experiments, artworks, singing, reading, writing, dancing, exercising, cooking, gardening, games, bike riding, scooter riding, mathematics, mapping, Olympic flames and so much more.
To the phenomenal staff of our school, you are continuing to manage Learning at home with a high level of professionalism, agility and teamwork which exemplifies the values of our school culture. The level of engagement of our families and individualised support being provided is second to none.
As teachers, we thrive on seeing our students engaged and doing well. We are so excited to see our students faces and the incredible efforts they are making with their learning. This week, we have started having Wellbeing Check – in Zoom meetings with some classes in years 1-6. Thank you for making this happen for your child. Participation is entirely by choice. You will be contacted by your classroom teacher directly if this applies to you child.
Refer to the Department of Education Advice to families for the most up to date information. You can always contact class teachers directly through Class Dojo and Seesaw. All our teachers are working from home. You can also arrange a time for teachers to call you through these two platforms.
Please reach out to us if there is anything we can do to support you and your families as we navigate through the next three weeks of learning at home.
Stay home, Stay safe.
Mrs McGeary - Acting Principal
