As we start week 3 of online teaching, we wish to thank all staff, students and parents for their efforts with this new distance learning. Like anything new it poses difficulties but it will be a goal and challenge for us all to master.
As we go forward we want this process to become Sufficient, Connected and Sustainable. We hope that the amount of work set will be both manageable for both student and teacher. We want everyone to follow their school timetable and to pace themselves. We do not want anyone to feel swamped. Do your best each day and we are mindful and there is alot going on.
We want all our students to make the effort to engage. The Microsoft 365 Teams platform is very manageable as it is connected to your school email. Teachers have posted up and continue to give very practical and helpful information. You should try to connect as often as you can so you won’t fall too far behind. Please email your Year Head if you having difficulties accessing the Microsoft 365 Teams.
This is also an opportunity for all students to develop your IT skills. You have the time. Explore the Microsoft 365 Teams platform. Learn how to video conference with your teachers and classmates. Upload answers and share them with your friends. Share what you have learned with others. Improve your typing skills and keep connected. Use your phone as an educational tool.
Stay well, stay hopeful and keep the bright side out. We are living in strange and difficult times but we must believe that this will eventually pass. Everything's going to be fine, stay home, practice social distancing, wash your hands and protect yourself.
