Year 7 & 8 Update

Matina Konstantinakos

I warmly welcome back the students, staff and parents to Semester 2 at John Fawkner College.

Our priority for the students and staff will be to ensure that this transition back to remote learning will be a positive experience and together, we will work through any of the challenges that may arise.

There was a real sense of excitement and anticipation about the return to school this term among our year 7 and 8 cohort. Although the return to onsite learning has been delayed we have seen outstanding resilience in our students re-connecting online and continuing to do their best with remote learning.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge the parents and guardians of our year 7 and 8 students for the time and efforts dedicated to supporting and engaging in this online learning model, particularly during these unprecedented times.

Friendly Reminders for Remote learning:

Students must ensure they are on time to class video's
Contact the school if you are having any technical difficulties
Students must conduct themselves in a respectful and mature manner
If you need help please contact your teachers
Keep striving for Values Cards
Please be familiar with the online code of conduct

ONLINE CODE OF CONDUCT

We make sure everyone feels safe online and is able to achieve, by focussing our comments on learning.
We respect our teachers’ work by joining lessons on time, staying muted until asked and avoiding visual distractions.
We continually improve by trying our best with all work that is set and communicating with our teachers if we need assistance.
Meeting participants use their camera when requested but mute their microphone when not speaking.

Until next time, stay safe and be kind
