Focus on Learning

Learning from Home

In these unprecedented times, we encourage parents to keep their children at home. Therefore, St Edward’s School has provided a ‘Home Learning Pack’ for each student. We would like to thank our staff who have been working very hard over these past weeks to adapt their teaching and delivery of the curriculum so your child can still continue to learn remotely from home.

In your child’s Home Learning Pack you will find information that will support your child to complete learning tasks from home. They will also be provided with their own Student Workbook and a book to read. For those families who do not have internet access we have provided hard copies of the learning program in your pack. The students who attend school will be completing the same tasks at school as what has been shared in the Home Learning Pack. This will be a consistent practice for the remainder of the term.

Our Home Learning programs have a range of activities to cater for students who do and do not have internet access. We are encouraging students to access the online components of our Home Learning via their school Google accounts. In your pack you will find explicit instructions on how to do this.

If you need to make contact with your child’s teacher this can be done between 9.00am and 3.00pm using the emails provided in your pack. Teachers will be monitoring the completion of tasks and providing regular learning feedback via Google Classroom.  Our wellbeing team will also be in contact with families regularly via phone.

It is imperative that your child continue to work and learn from home. We are here to support our students and their families to the very best of our ability. Please make contact with the school if you require support to access the Home Learning Platform.

Your child’s holistic wellbeing is important, so please ensure they are having time to play outside and are eating well and practising safe hygiene. Keep reassuring them with positive comments should they be showing signs of anxiety or distress.

We will continue to keep you up to date with information as circumstances change through our school Facebook page, Newsletter and Compass Parent Portal.

Home Learning- How to video support

For students accessing Home Learning options, we have created some videos to support students to login to Google accounts and add extensions to support their learning.
