A Return to Onsite Learning

Despite spending only 12 days in the classroom to date this semester, Cheltenham Secondary College’s Junior School students have continued to stay committed to their learning showing great resilience. Taking time to reflect on their most recent remote learning experience, our Junior School students have identified the following as positives of learning from home:

As of Tuesday 26th October all Junior School students can look forward to a return to onsite learning. While Year 7 students will return full-time from this date, our Year 8 students will return part-time attending the College on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, while continuing with online learning for the remainder of the week. 

 

To assist students in their return to the classroom and encourage them to participate in physical activity, they are permitted to wear their PE uniform for the remainder of the school year. 

 

While we cannot wait to see the smiling faces of our students and hear their laughter fill the school yard, we know they are looking forward to their return just as much.

Year 7 HPV Vaccinations

Year 7 students are now due for their second and final dose of the HPV vaccine. Year 7 HPV immunisations will continue as planned on Monday 18th October and will take place in the Auditorium. 

 

Please note there needs to be a minimum of 7 days between any COVID-19 and HPV vaccine.  

In line with the classification of immunisation as an essential medical service, parents/carers and students are permitted under the current restrictions to travel outside of the 5km limit if they must do so to obtain a due vaccination.

To ensure the day runs smoothly, and to avoid large numbers attending at the same time, the following schedule has been created:

7A

9.30am

7B

9.50am

7C

10.10am

7D

10.30am

7E

10.50am

7F

11.10am

7G

11.30am

On the immunisation day:

  • Student are to arrive at their form group’s allocated timeslot
  • Students will line up outside 1.5m apart
  • Student are to wear loose clothing
  • All students should attend wearing a face mask
  • Parent/Carer can wait in the car for their child to return after the vaccination (approx. 20-30 mins). This is to comply with COVID-19 regulations.
  • Parents/Carers must wait outside the school grounds.

The parental consent cards, which were completed and handed back during Term 1 are still valid, hence no paperwork is required.
