eCalrossy

Calrossy expands its distance education program

During the break, whilst many of us still had sand between our toes, our distance education programme, eCalrossy commenced with Year 5 and 6 attending their first residential school. It was an outstanding success and the class of Stage 3 students have taken to the programme with ease. eCalrossy is available to students in Years 5 to 9 and each day the students learn online with Calrossy staff via Zoom until lunchtime. During the holidays students attend residential school for three weeks of the year and undertake many of the practical subjects which cannot be done online.  

We have welcomed students from as far away as Packsaddle in the far north-west of NSW and are delighted that all of our eCalrossy students have the opportunity to access a Calrossy education. The students have made comments such as, “I love Japanese, I love the teachers, I love being taught, I love writing and I love the online learning.” I am thankful or the efforts and energy of Mrs Rebecca Truter who has commenced as the inaugural teacher of the Stage 3 eCalrossy class. We look forward to watching the programme grow and seeing the day student programme connect and interact with the online programme at different stages in the year.
