From the Principal’s Desk, 23 April 2020

Dear Parents

During this period of e-learning, the question in all our minds is: “Are the students coping?”  This new method of teaching and learning is new to all of us and a shade of insecurity here and there is normal.

After observing my own daughter’s work habits, I have come to realise that the connection between students is incredibly important. Often after a lesson she will catch up with her peers as this is an opportunity for them to clear up any uncertainties about the lesson’s content or exchange information about pending assignments.

Collaboration is the key to success.  This is not just true for the students, but also for teachers and parents.  The support structure which exists between parents, teachers and students has never been more important in the goal of furthering and improving the e-learning experience. Let us not neglect student interaction during this time, as this sharing of information and collaboration would otherwise be a normal part of the school day.

In this theme of collaboration, we will be having our first online assemblies next week.  A link will be sent to you via the Engage platform.

Monday, 27th of April, is a public holiday and we will thus continue our online lessons on Tuesday 28 April.

Don’t forget to have fun with your children during this time and I have therefore included a link to indoor activities for our children.
