LEARNING FROM HOME
Term 2 2021

Students return to school on Friday 11th June
The Acting Premier of Victoria made an announcement, outlining that students are permitted to return to school on Friday 11th June.

We are awaiting advice from the Department of Education, which will guide us to make decisions relating to school operations moving forward. We will advise parents on Compass accordingly as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and your children during the recent period of remote and flexible learning. We look forward to seeing all of our students back at school this Friday.

HOW LONG SHOULD BE SPENT ON SCHOOLWORK?
​
​Guidelines from the Department of Education during the 2020 remote learning period suggested a daily minimum of:

Grade P-2 students = Approx. 2.0-2.5 hours daily (including 30-45 minutes of play-based learning and physical activity)
​
Grade 3-6 students = Approx. 3.0-3.5 hours daily (including 30 minutes of physical activity)
  • The usual timetable will not apply.
  • Break times will be 10:30-11:00am and 1:00-1:40pm for EVERYBODY working remotely – students and staff.​

DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
​
It's expected that all students will have at least 30 minutes of physical activity every school day. Ideas for physical activity:
  • Use the spaces, equipment and toys in your home and/or yard.
  • Go for a walk, run or ride with a parent - in line with social distancing.
  • Use the P.E. activities in your year level's specialist tasks. You can look at other year levels too and try those! 
  • ​​Join an online exercise class. "PE with Joe" is one example (which is harder than it looks!)
