Year 8

Hello, Year 8 Families, the countdown is on!

The commencement back to onsite learning is upon us and what a very different year it has been! Despite the current challenges posed by COVID-19 over this time, our Year 8 students should all be proud of their achievements over the remote learning period. These achievements include not only those regarding their academic learning but also all of the ‘other’ learning that has happened as part of home-based learning. 

They have demonstrated perseverance and resilience, they have experienced collaboration and communication in a virtual environment and they have become much more ‘tech savvy’ in terms of video conferencing without the use of cameras, online assessments, troubleshooting issues and working with new platforms. I am very proud of the adaptable and resourceful learners they have become.

With less than over a week to go until Years 8 to 10 in Metro Melbourne return to onsite learning, many parents may be letting out a sigh of relief. However, not all students are looking forward to returning and may feel some anxiety as they count down the days.

We encourage you to view the video with Dr Anthea Rhodes as she highlights some common concerns parents and children have, and how you can support your child in the lead up to the big day.
