School@Home

Hybrid Learning using Google Classroom will be employed for Secondary students learning from home if they are unwell. All Secondary students already use Google Classroom as the digital hub for their lessons and other important information and resources. 

• Alongside face-to-face learning, Google Classroom is the main place for students to access and complete work.
• Teachers will post lessons in Google Classroom as needed and based on student requirements. 
• If a student is absent for an extended period of time, they may access the necessary work for each subject through Google Classroom, or by emailing their class teacher. 
• Any questions that a student may have about their work can be asked through Google Classroom, emailing the class teacher, or phoning the School.
• Google Classroom does not have a parent portal facility. To view a student’s Google Classroom, parents need to ask their children to show them. 
• Parent questions about classwork should be directed to Subject Teachers.
• Parent concerns about general learning should be directed to Core Class Teachers as follows,

Year 7: Dr Shareen Liggins and Miss Lyndall Gluskie

Year 8: Mr Marty Gee and Mrs Sandra Daly

Year 9: Miss Jemima Robinson and Mr Mitchell Cavens

Year 10: Mrs Melanie Kewley and Mr Gareth Thompson

Years 11/12: Mrs Elizabeth Porter and Mrs Alexis Clarke.

As we work together in partnership to facilitate and support the learning of your children during periods of extended absence, please be mindful of the following:

• Be familiar with the 7-12 Students Expectations for Learning @ Home.
• It is important that students have a suitable workspace for learning at home, away from distractions but allowing direct supervision by a parent or carer.
• Evidence of completed student work will be required either during the student’s absence or on a student’s return to school. Each class teacher will explain to students what is required for their subject area. 
• Please refer to the Google Classroom – Parent Guide for instructions on accessing and using Google Classroom.
• Staff will be following the normal assessment calendars and procedures. Each student will be notified through Google Classroom and Gmail of any upcoming assessment tasks.
• Year 11 and 12 students can find all information regarding Assessment Tasks in the Stage 6 Study Handbook.
• If you have technology issues, please contact the school or submit an IT Help Request.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please phone or email the School Office.
