11.01.2022 Ohhh Yoda you are too beautiful. He misses his friends, so wrote a letter to them Dear SCHS Community I have been at home forever now (or so it seems). Looking at the same faces, fences and smelling the same things its been tough.... Ive been spending my time helping Mum in the garden by chewing and digging up plants. Im really good at looking after the ones Dad has just planted. The postie loves me, so I bark extra loud at him. Then I help bring in the letters and sort them too. The key is to chew until you get a thousand little pieces, especially the bills. Mums voice seems louder when she finds them so I know she likes it when I do that. During this time, I have discovered music! Im loving the new beats! But for some reason Mum and Dad yell at me for taking their air buds. I dont really know why, its not like they taste good or anything, so Im really doing them a favour. I cant wait till these restrictions are over and I can give you all a big hug, and you can give me a big hug and throw a ball and tell me how gorgeous I am and make those lovely cute noises you make when we meetup Im missing you all, so heres lots of love, stay safe and look after each other as best you can till I can catch up with you all. Love Yoda Ps Ive grown a little bit more too Ive got to get my website up like that show off Arlo.. (I want to get some likes also) #SCHS #education #therapydogs #wellbeing

07.01.2022 In celebration of Science Week, we thought we would share a unique story with our community. Here is Miss Lam, one of our science teachers with her Year 10 students. One class is for Diseases and Defence, the other is Reversible Reactions. Teaching remotely has its challenges, but we all know our teachers are doing an extraordinary job in helping our students through this lockdown.... In Miss Lams case, its unique as she hasnt had the opportunity to actually meet her students in person! Miss Lam started with Suzanne Cory High School in Term 2, and with a combination of Covid-19 and students picking electives, this has meant she has only met her students online! A big THANK YOU to teachers like Miss Lam, who have been thrown in the deep end of Covid-19, and to all of our other amazing teachers for their efforts in adapting during Term 3. We couldnt do this without you #SCHS #education #Remotelearning
