Staying Connected

Thank you again for your continued support as we move into the next phase of schooling. As per the advice provided by the government last weekend, we look forward to welcoming back our Prep and Year 1 students on Monday. It will be fantastic to have you back and we look forward to the return of further students in the upcoming weeks.

In these unusual circumstances, we have been continually examining ways in which we can connect as community. In addition to the use of online learning platforms and emails, Year 4 and 5 classes have begun to experiment with the use of Microsoft Teams as a way to boost connection and communication. Microsoft Teams will not replace Nav, instead it will foster stronger connections between teachers and students through video and audio.

We thank students, parents and staff for their engagement in parent teacher conferences this week. I have heard many positive messages from staff and we thank you again for the way in which you have supported and continue to support the College by guiding your child’s learning during this phase.

Our Year 3 classes have enhanced connections with students contributing to a blog and providing information regarding where they have been learning, what they have enjoyed, what they have been challenged by and also messages of support. I was lucky to be the first to contribute to this blog and have thoroughly enjoyed watching the interaction and contributions from our Year 3 students.

Our wonderful Prep students have also been busy constructing a Mother’s Day chapel for the Junior College on Friday. We thank them for their organisation and we wish all the mothers in and connected to our community a wonderful day on Sunday.

Take care.

Mr Damian Davis, Head of Staff and Students P-5
