Continuity of Learning

It has certainly been challenging for staff and students coping with the ongoing illness and absences. We are very proud of our staff and students and the way in which everyone is working together to ensure the continuity of learning.

Staff have recently met to discuss what assessment is required for the remainder of term and subject teams have either adjusted scheduled assessments or in some cases, deleted the assessment. In some other cases, the assessment will be assessed as a S (Satisfactory) or N (Not satisfactory) with appropriate feedback on Canvas. Students will be informed of any changes by their teacher. If you need any further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.

In the case of student absences, we will follow our usual procedures. That is, if a student is absent due to illness and unable to complete the assessment, they will receive a NA, no penalty. If a student is absent due to a non sanctioned school reason, and unable to complete the assessment by the due date, they will receive a NS, zero for the task.

We realise that we will continue to have absences for the remainder of term, and therefore, teachers are focusing on learning activities that continue to build student skills in subjects.

To assist students with their organisation and planning we publish S dates which refers to the final date for any Year 7 – 12 summative or reportable task to be completed. The Year 7 -12 Semester One S days are as follows:
