Lockdown-Remote Learning
As we come to the end of our week in Lockdown, we give thanks to our students and families for their ability to adapt in Remote Learning. A big thank you to our school staff for their efforts and preparation to ease into Remote Learning and to remain focused on ensuring learning continuity for all our students during on-site supervision or learning from home. Our staffs' ability to swiftly move into Remote Schooling preparation, the distribution of chrome books and to set up our drive through facility is to be admired and is very much appreciated. All staff are driven to ensure our students and their learning remain our focus at all times. Stay home, stay safe.
From Friday 4 June 2021 to Thursday 10 June 2021 (inclusive), all students will continue with the Remote Schooling program. This means that all students who can learn from home must learn from home, except where:
- parents, guardians or carers cannot work from home and no other arrangements can be made for the supervision of their child(ren)
- students are considered vulnerable, including:
- children in out-of-home care
- children deemed by Child Protection and/or Family Services to be at risk of harm
- children identified by the school as vulnerable (including via referral from a family violence agency, homelessness or youth justice service or mental health or other health service)
If your your child falls under one of the above categories, and you need to send your child(ren) to school during this period, please register your intention to send your child(ren) to school via the Operoo eform sent out yesterday by 3.00 pm TODAY Thursday 3 June. This will enable us to ensure that we have sufficient staff on duty to supervise students in attendance.
Remote Schooling tasks will continue to be assigned to students by their teachers. A letter was sent to parents and students via SZApp outlining this latest announcement from the Chief Health Officer.
NCCD – Nationally Consistent Collection of Data
Each year, schools complete the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability. Students who received additional adjustments because of a disability (as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992) are counted in the data. Students with learning problems such as specific learning disability, reading disability, health problems, physical disability, vision/hearing loss and social-emotional problems are some examples of students with disability. Teachers use knowledge of the learning progressions, student progress and data, letters and/or diagnostic statements/reports from health professionals, evidence of learning adjustments/support in the classroom and/or on the playground to support whether a student is counted in NCCD. NCCD data is collected in August each year. Please find attached the NCCD Information Sheet for parents for further information.
