Dear Primary Parents and Caregivers,
Unfortunately, as you have been notified by Mr Muldoon, the School and the Port Macquarie community are under a Public Health Order to ‘Stay at home.’ This means there are rules and restrictions about students attending schools.
Advice for families from the NSW Government website:
Parents and Carers must keep children – across primary and secondary school – at home unless they need to be at school. Schools (including out of school hours care) are open for any child that needs it.
What will this look like in Primary at St Columba?
Please take time to read and view the information on the Remote Learning page of Explain SCAS. You will find help in navigating Google Meet and Google Classroom and also who to contact if you need assistance with Curriculum questions, technology or pastoral support.
Monday to Wednesday
Teachers have provided an online timetable of activities for the three days of planning this week. We appreciate that this is not a full suite of offerings but staff will need this time to adjust the planned programs. Students can find this timetable on their Google Classroom. See the Google Classroom guide on Explain SCAS or contact the school if you are having difficulties.
Thursday and beyond…
On Thursday morning we will commence our full activities with Google Classroom and Google Meet.
In the Primary School we have added the addition of Google Meets to our remote learning program to assist parents who are currently working from home and to help students maintain engagement with their learning.
What if I need to send my child to school?
Primary students will be provided with supervision if their parents are required to attend their workplace and are considered an essential worker.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to the school if you need assistance. The best way to get help is to email primaryschool@scas.nsw.edu.au so a member of the Primary leadership team can respond.
We all hope that we will be back at school together soon.
