25.01.2022 Stress is often given a bad name but the right amount of stress can motivate you to get things done. In order to prevent 'bad stress' it is important to recognise when it has become overwhelming instead of motivating. One of the best ways to do this during the COVID 19 lockdown, is to maintain a routine. Routines can help family life run a little smoother and they can teach us about basic time management skills. Sometimes things won’t go to plan but that’s ok! Think about wha...t you would change the next time (ie doing less in a day). By working together as a family to build a routine, everyone will feel invested in it and also have realistic expectations. A vital component of building a routine is also making space for downtime to include sleep, eating well, exercise and maintaining connections with family and friends. Another great way to build a successful routine is to make a visual template. This will make it much easier for everyone in the family to remember and complete their tasks. While this can be a tricky time to start, the benefits are often enormous particularly for your families' wellbeing."

24.01.2022 Following advice from the Victorian Government on Tuesday 12 May, some students will be returning to school from Tuesday 26 May. The Victorian Chief Health Officer has advised that it is safe for Victorian school students and teachers to return to on-site schooling in a two-staged approach: Stage 1 from Tuesday 26 May Senior secondary students (Year 11 and 12) undertaking the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCA...L), will return to on-site schooling. All staff will attend on-site. Stage 2 - from Tuesday 9 June Year 7 to Year 10 students will return to on-site schooling, subject to health advice. The Department’s latest advice on can be found at www.education.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

24.01.2022 Thank You John Fawkner College Community. Because of our efforts, we have now introduced a staged return to classrooms. From Tuesday May 26, Years 11 and 12 students returned to on-site schooling. From Tuesday June 9 Year 7-10 students return to on-site schooling. Frequent hand washing will be required, and anyone who feels unwell should not attend school. Please don’t hesitate to contact the college to learn more about our school's specific plan.

23.01.2022 The college website had been updated and will continue to be update with remote learning resources for families and students through out Term 2 #remotelearning

23.01.2022 Coronavirus (COVID-19) can spread from close contact with another person who has the virus. The best way to protect other people against coronavirus (COVID-19) is keeping 1.5 metres apart, wash your hands often, and cough or sneeze into your elbow or tissue. Face coverings are an additional protective physical barrier to protect you and your loved ones. Face coverings help stop droplets spreading when someone speaks, laughs, coughs, or sneezes, including someone who has coronavirus (COVID-19) but feels well. A face covering includes any paper or fabric, covering the nose and mouth to protect the wearer. For more information please visit https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/face-coverings-covid-19. https://youtu.be/9Tv2BVN_WTk

22.01.2022 Students and teachers at John Fawkner College were amazed at Professor Bunsen's Science is not Magic Show. The show was thoroughly enjoyed by all which explored concepts including chemicals, chemical reactions, light, sound and colour. Thanks to Ms Roberts and Mr Buttigieg for organising the event.

22.01.2022 As many members in our community may be aware, the Victorian Premier today has announced plans for a staged return to school for all students in years 7 to 12. As a result from Tuesday 26 May, all VCE and VCAL students will return to on-site learning at government schools. The next fortnight, and a pupil free day at all schools on 25 May, will give staff, schools and families time to prepare for the change. Vulnerable students and children in those years whose parents or care...rs cannot work from home, can continue to attend school on-site as needed during this period. Students in the broader year 7 to 10 cohort will continue to learn remotely until Tuesday 9 June, to give the Government and the Chief Health Officer time to monitor and evaluate the effects that the return to school by other year levels has on the increased movement of people and transmission within the community. Closer to the return to school dates, the College will provide detailed information to all families on the plans and process to ensure safe continuity of learning. See more

20.01.2022 Stay Safe when Celebrating Eid This is a short video for you to watch in celebration of Eid. We know that tomorrow is a really special day for lots of you as it is Eid. Usually, Eid is a time when you can visit friends and family and celebrate all together. Unfortunately, this year is going to look different and I just want to remind you that we are still in lockdown, we still have to stay home even for Eid. This may feel strange but it is to keep everybody safe and healthy. ...Even if you do feel healthy and don’t have any symptoms we need to follow the government guidelines. If we do this now it will mean we can see our family and friends sooner once lockdown lifts. You can still celebrate this special day, but just make sure it is within your homes and with the family members that you live with. We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating and it brings joy in this difficult time. Take Care and Stay Safe https://www.youtube.com/watch

18.01.2022 Monday the 16th November is a day that some of our schools’ young men will never forget. The opportunity to train with not only two outstanding Islamic leaders but also two of the AFL’s best running defenders in the competition is a privilege not many are afforded. As part of the Bachar Houli Foundation 16 young men were chosen to participate in a leadership and mentoring program to help forge their pathway through life and connect with their Islamic faith through the eyes of... a leader. The seven week course culminated in a training day and graduation where players received signed playing jumpers from Adam Saad and triple premiership player Bachar Houli. Earlier in the day they were put through a skills and conditioning session from former St. Kilda player Ahmed Saad. It was a small insight to the skills of the game and then some fitness required to make it at the top level. Overall the program and the graduation day were a big success for our chosen participants. At times they were forced out of their comfort zone and showed their vulnerabilities, fears and dreams in front of their peers. This took a lot of courage for them to do this and they gained new respect and for new perspectives for each other’s challenges. A big thank you to Ali Fahour who facilitated the whole program and former JFC student Ismail Moussa.

02.01.2022 Dear parents, guardians, staff and students, The Premier of Victoria has released a statement confirming his intention to bring the end of the school term forward and the holidays will begin on Tuesday 24 March. The statement also notes that the decision whether to re-open schools after the Term 1 holidays will be determined following advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer. Given this, students should come to school tomorrow prepared to take home all their books and e...ssential materials from their lockers at the end of the day. Further information about our plans for the continuity of student learning and communication between John Fawkner College and families will be sent out tomorrow and/or across the next coming days. I hope everyone in our community is keeping safe and well and I thank you in advance for your support in these unprecedented times. Absent students - collection of books If your child is going to be absent from classes tomorrow but they are planning to come and collect books and other resources from their lockers, I ask that they do this between 3:30pm and 4:00pm. That will help us limit unnecessary interaction between students during school hours. Regards, Mark Natoli Principal

01.01.2022 More than ever before, this year it’s important to manage any hay fever or asthma symptoms, as these conditions can produce symptoms that are similar to coronavirus (COVID-19) such as runny nose, cough or shortness of breath. Grass pollen season occurs between October and December. There is an increased risk of seasonal asthma, hay fever and epidemic thunderstorm asthma during this time. Epidemic thunderstorm asthma events are triggered by an uncommon combination of high gras...s pollen levels and a certain type of thunderstorm, resulting in large numbers of people developing asthma symptoms over a short period of time. People with a history of asthma, undiagnosed asthma or hay fever are at an increased risk of epidemic thunderstorm asthma during this time. Having both hay fever and asthma that are poorly managed increases the risk further. The best way to reduce and prevent symptoms of asthma or hay fever and reduce unnecessary absences from school is to follow an up-to-date asthma action plan or hay fever treatment plan. Download the VicEmergency app and create a ‘watch zone’ for epidemic thunderstorm asthma advice and warnings. On days with a heightened risk of thunderstorm asthma, avoid being outside during thunderstorms and during wind gusts that come before a storm. For more information on Thunderstorm Asthma please visit https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/cam/thunderstorm-asthma
