Dear parents, students and families,
I hope you are all well and managing as best as possible.
Thank-you for your ongoing patience and support while we all work through the current period of remote and flexible learning.I have been informed that the current period of remote and flexible learning will continue until next Tuesday 27th of July. The projected return date to on site classes is Wednesday 28th July.
Our current approach to classes will continue during this time with further information communicated to year level groups by appropriate leaders. In basic terms this includes that students check into form assembly at the normal time and follow their daily timetable where lessons are 45 minutes in length.
There is also a range of other online activities the College is offering via different sections on Microsoft Teams.
I would like to stress that it is vital that our students remain engaged in school based activities. This involvement is not only important in terms of classroom based learning but also for the social connection that is provided. Our year level teams will be continuing their very strong focus on attendance in on line classes and overall engagement.
On site attendance
Attendance on site will continue to be supported by the College during this time. If you require this support please make contact with the College via our email address or directly to the appropriate year level leaders – see below.
Applications for students to attend on site are available upon request from the main office. Please email cranbourne.sc@education.vic.gov.au or collect a hard copy from the front office. Forms must be completed and submitted by 10am on the school day prior to the attendance request.
