Remote Learning Contacts
We might not be with you during the school day but we are certainly here for you everyday. We are keen to keep the channels of communication open with parents and students to best support student learning. Students will be contacted on a regular basis by their Remote Learning Support teacher as well as their classroom teachers. We also want to ensure that students and families are able to contact Wantirna College staff during this time to respond to their questions and provide them with support. The primary form of contact will be via email.
