Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for working with us throughout remote learning, it is imperative that we continue to work together as a team to ensure that your daughter’s learning continues.

Here are ways in which you can support your daughter’s learning by:

• • Providing a quiet space in an open area
  • Ensuring your daughter is up early, on time for learning and completing her work
  • Monitoring learning and checking Compass
  • Monitoring wellbeing and health
  • Monitoring your emails for any teacher correspondence

If unwell get tested for COVID-19 and send the results to school. Additionally, If your daughter is unwell and unable to participate in classes, contact Mrs Thompson at the College Mrs Thompson at the College by email lauren.thompson001@syd.catholic.edu.au or phone call 97254322

College Expectations for remote learning:

• Girls are to be ready for lessons by 9am
• Girls must attend all your classes – six lessons per day and follow their timetable (Routine is important!).
• Girls are encouraged to have breaks during normal recess and lunch times
• Classes are via a mix of Zoom, Google Classroom and individual work
• An attendance roll is taken every lesson
• Engagement is important and parents will be contacted if your daughter is not engaging in her classes
• Students regularly check your emails and Compass

I would also like to specifically thank the Support and Teaching staff for their dedication and commitment to your daughters. We are blessed to have such caring staff who are working on lessons to ensure that our girls are engaged in their learning.
