Interview with Rishad Cook-Sabatino Year 10 (Hodges House) as he continues to learn via distance at St Michael\u2019s Primary School, Thursday Island \u2013 Cay Camden- Senior School Counsellor<\/p>\n
9th<\/sup> September 2020<\/p>\n Rishad how long have you been learning via Distance in the Torres Strait Islands? <\/u><\/p>\n 110 days!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n What does your daily routine look like? <\/u><\/p>\n When I am going to learn via distance at the primary school on Thursday island I am up early and do all the usual things but I then walk to the ferry wharf and catch a ferry across from Horn to Thursday Island. It takes about 20 mins. Then I walk up to the school. I follow the SHORE daily routine as best I can, and try to keep up with all the notifications and any Zoom meetings possible.<\/em><\/p>\n What has been the most challenging part of distance learning?<\/u><\/p>\n Missing my friends, the new gym and Basketball.<\/em><\/p>\n What has been \u2018a positive\u2019 out of this new experience? <\/u><\/p>\n Being more independent, learning how to use new IT-Zoom and being more patient. I am now more organised (but that took a while) and being on time (which I am still mastering). I have much more time with my family and love leading sports with the little kids from the primary school, Basketball, touch footy and AFL. I have loved seeing my whole community come together in this crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n How do you feel still being at home, and not back at SHORE yet?<\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0A bit weird, like I am definitely in a different world. I like being at the school here though as I am<\/em> getting work done now, which I couldn\u2019t before schooling from home on Horn Island.<\/em><\/p>\n How did they react when you first came? <\/u><\/p>\n The little kids stared at me. However, I was introduced to everyone, and now they are all happy to<\/em> see me. There are about 100 students here, so quite a small school.<\/em><\/p>\n Tell me what is the most interesting thing we wouldn\u2019t know about your home Horn Island?<\/u><\/p>\n That the only way to get to any of the smaller islands of the Torres Strait is through Cairns and then through Horn<\/em> Island.<\/em><\/p>\n And Thursday Island, has all the major infrastructure like businesses, boarder patrol and many more<\/em> houses. <\/em><\/p>\n What would you like to tell your boarding community?<\/u><\/p>\n I WILL RETURN.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interview with Rishad Cook-Sabatino Year 10 (Hodges House) as he continues to learn via distance at St Michael\u2019s Primary School, Thursday Island \u2013 Cay Camden- Senior School Counsellor 9th September 2020 Rishad how long have you been learning via Distance in the Torres Strait Islands? 110 days!!!
