Well another week has passed and we hope that students are still working through their lesson packs.

Teachers are working together this week to ensure Google classrooms are ready to go. There are a large number of families with no access to a printer so teachers are putting together work that will not require use of a printer.

There is news for families today about this. Remind friends about checking in with the App and Website as these will hold valuable information related to student learning.

By the end of next week we hope that all children have access to their google classroom and are ready for Term 2. It is very valuable to have this time to get prepared and get it right for our students.

The band and strings groups have really stepped up. Online tutorials and also group rehearsals are going ahead thanks to the support of the parent body, Mr Walmsley and Mr Mansukhani.

I am very proud and grateful to have a staff that make student learning a priority and are collaborating on lessons for next term.

There should be some surpises by the end of the week for students to check on  in their google classroom.

STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE AND STAY AT HOME
