Wellbeing & Engagement 

Wellbeing / Engagement

 

We find ourselves back in a remote learning position – which is strange as we were calling the last period a ‘once in a lifetime’ event. Please know that all of the staff at Rangeview are working incredibly hard to prepare for this second stretch of flexible learning. We understand that we had the benefit of ‘novelty’ the first time around and with it came enthusiasm and engagement. We will be working very hard to ensure we revive that connection to this different type of learning and we will be doing things a little differently this time, including more WebEx sessions and more opportunities for students to engage with both their teacher and each other. 

 

We know that remote learning isn’t ideal – far from it – and we are so thankful to have such a committed and connected community. The book pick up at school on Thursday was a beautiful example of this. I received personal thanks and positive comments and feedback from so many families – thank you. 

 

We will be providing links and resources to support you over the coming weeks. Please reach out to us if we can assist you or your family in any way. Please stay connected and look out for each other.
