They appreciate the support they have received from our wonderful school community. The school environment, although light on student number, has still been a hive of activity, with staff working on producing lessons for online learning, so that there can be a degree of educational continuity for all students during their time at home. Letters outlining how... to access the online learning platform before Monday, were sent home today and families were phoned and asked to indicate if they would prefer a hard (paper) copy. These hard copies will also be available for collection on Monday. Workbooks for the remainder of this week are available at the office. Staff will be at school every day, so if you have questions regarding learning activities or any other inquiries, please do not hesitate to phone the school for assistance. Thank you again for your patience and dedication to student learning during this time. See more
