I think we know that school is going to look very different for us all in term 2. COVID-19 has certainly thrown us all a major challenge.
I am inordinately proud of our College staff who have worked so hard to prepare our online learning program. Today the program begins in earnest, after it was introduced three days before the end of term. We have had some very positive feedback from families so far. It’s early days, but I feel confident we can continue to deliver the high calibre of education our community has come to expect.
How does an online learning program look for, say, the average Middle School student? We have tried to keep as much structure in the school day as possible. Led by our teaching staff, Middle School students will continue to use apps such as Showbie for their learning resources, our App4 to set and track tasks and Zoom for instructions and video conferencing.
Beaconhills is delivering on-campus learning for children of front line workers, along with places for students in Prep-Year 12 to support families who cannot provide home-based learning. Our two Little Beacons centres are open and continue to deliver early learning programs.
I believe we are firmly on the front foot with our online learning programs. Let’s keep up the great work – and get the most out of term 2.
Suggested Middle School student routine: • wake: do some exercise • breakfast and change for school • 8.45am: tutor check-in on Zoom • 9am: classes start as per my timetable with video meet check-ins with my teachers. Start working through my tasks on App4 using Learning Resources • 11am: stop for a break, have some food, do some stretches • 11.30am: classes start up again with more video check-ins with my teachers • 1:30pm: stop for lunch, catch up with some friends online (no television, need some off-screen time) • 2.20pm: final class with a video meet check-in with my teacher • 3.30-4.30pm: have a break, get some exercise, music practice • 4.30pm: start your home learning • 6.30pm: dinner.
