Reflections on Remote Learning 2.0

With a little bit of time now between us and the last remote learning period, it is clear to see that going back into remote learning had a profound effect on students, families and all members of the community.  Where remote learning version 1 had to it a degree of novelty and nervous apprehension about it, the second remote learning period proved to be a tough slog and a real test of resilience, motivation and perseverance.

Baimbridge College appreciates every effort that students and families made to do their very best to keep up with their learning, to stay motivated and to support each other through this tough period.  In the midst of this difficult time, some of the student feedback demonstrated how thoughtful, considerate and well-grounded our students are.  It is a pleasure to share some of these thoughts with our community.  I’ve left the individual names of students out of these responses but they represent students from Years 7 – 12.

Many people have reported that they have reassessed their priorities in response to this pandemic.  Has anything stood out to you as more important than you previously thought? Why do you think this is?

I learned that friends and family are more important than i previously thought because they helped me get through this hard situation.

Communication has stood out as you need to be able to talk to people and socialize with people otherwise you feel distant.

Being social and living by making memories, everyday feels the same now and i just want to live again, and make memories out there, in the world, not being stuck bored at home.

Being able to talk to my friends. It has been important to be able to keep in contact with them so we could stay friends and keep communicating and helping each other.

life can be hard sometimes but you must keep going.

Checking in on people became more important because some people coped less than others

Have you learnt anything about yourself or life more generally during this period of lock-down? If so, what?

I have learned that there will be harder times in your life and to get through them all you have to do is persevere and NEVER GIVE UP!

not to give up just try your hardest and try to keep up to date

I've learnt that you have to do the right thing if you want to be able to do the things you want.                                                                                                                                             

You start appreciate the work of teachers more as you see how hard it can be for them during a period like this.

I dont do well working alone in a space. most the time i need a few people to keep me on track so i dont lose focus

Have you been called upon to help other people through this period/  What sorts of help have you had to provide?

My brother has come to me a few times and has been a little down because of this situation. So i have cheered him up a few times.

don't be scared to email your teachers

I have talked to people over the phone and made them laugh so they are happy and also helped do some jobs for my family to help.

Well I helped a girl who was crying and then I'd help my friends with their work if the didnt understand it

Some of my friends were feeling a bit sad and depressed so I called them up to make sure that they were ok.

Well I bake for the old lady that lives in Macarthur because she is getting old so I try and make some food for her so she doesn’t have to cook as much and I also take her some wood when she needs it to help keep her warm

Across the remote learning 2.0 period teachers kept track of student work and progress via compass and we’ve tallied up the feedback on work submitted.  The following list of people were the top performers during this learning period and we’d like to extend an extra congratulations to them for persevering through this difficult time.  Each student listed below will receive a certificate acknowledging their efforts and a bonus 10 points on to their School-Wide Positive Behaviour Points tally to spend on items in the reward display.

Undoubtedly it was a difficult time for all and whilst on the one had we congratulate these students for their efforts, we recognize that all students encountered and overcame challenges and we are so glad to have everyone back together at school.

Let’s all hope that remote learning becomes as ever-increasing distant memory.
