Thank you to parents for their cooperation in the collection of the Week 5&6 Learning Packs yesterday, as well as to Mrs.Campbell and Mrs.Moir who generously came in early to coordinate this and to meet parents.

Last week we asked for parent feedback regarding how you were going with Remote Learning.  We were interested to note the varied amount of hours families were able to commit to learning in their homes, while we also received an overwhelming amount of parents who felt the amount of work was 'just right'.  With close to 95% of families reporting a typical day having a 'just right' workload we again would like to remind parents that they are the drivers of the day, the boots on the ground, that have the power to add, modify, combine or remove tasks to ensure each child is able to complete the maximum amount of high quality work - without harm to their or anyone else's mental health!

The provision of learning adjustments (and extensions) is a regular feature of the way Lumen Christi teachers plan to cater to the wide variety of needs and interests in a typical classroom.  As parents become more familar with their children as a learner we encouarge you to be flexible and think about taking advantage of the additional prompts and other online resources like the ABC TV programming, Behind the News and kidsnews products.  The newly purchased online Reading platforms www.raz-plus.com and www.myon.com also are good sources to direct students towards.

It is critical that parents continue to follow the Attendance procedures.  Staff have to follow normal school attendance legislation even during remote learning and therefore all unexplained absences are recorded when children fail to check-in, complete work or parents are not in contact with the classroom teachers.
