Dear Parents, Guardians and Community,
Once again we find ourselves in Remote Learning. The official advice is that lock-down has been extended for another week. Students will now return to school on Friday June 11.
If anything changes we will let you know. Our message is always, do the best you can and do what works for your family. We have tried to be more consistent with our sessions across the year levels. We hope this has not created problems with the use of devices at home. If lock-down continues and this is proving to be a problem, please let us know if you need to borrow devices from school.
Well being is one of our key to our success during this time. We are certainly noticing the strain across our community with some of our students finding the lock downs quite challenging and increased levels of anxiety across our community. As a school we have stepped up our work around well being and continue to work on school behaviour management structures. We are also looking at our work around esafety and trying to update our processes and codes of conducts for use of technology. One of the main tools we use is the Government esafety website https://www.esafety.gov.au/ This has been set up to support schools and other organisations. We hope to get our updated esafety Codes of Conduct to families soon.
Our main advice around well being is
- Do the best you can.
- Make sure exercise is part of the day for the students.
- If it gets too overwhelming, take a break.
- Smiling Minds is a great resource/app that offers meditation and other tools. Calm, is another well known app
Filming at the school. The filming took place on Monday which created a bit of excitement around the school. All was approved through the Covid Lock-down with communication with Film Victoria. Our students at the school were able to visit the set and the child actors were in and out of our front door most of the day. If we learnt anything, it is certainly a slow process with the same scenes shot over and over again.
Re-scheduling: Please bear with us as we try to reschedule lots of events. First Communion, School Sports and the School Disco to name a few. Hopefully we can get these up and going soon.
God Bless and Stay Safe.
Anthony
Last week a copy of our new school prayer was sent home with every child. The children have been reciting this prayer in their classrooms every morning. We encourage you to do the same at home, maybe to start the day as a family! We wish to extend our thanks to Siobhain Murphy for her beautiful design and for helping us with the publishing of this very special prayer!
