It is fantastic to be back at school this term with most of our students joining us. The buzz of excitement as everyone reconnects has made us grateful to be taking this positive step towards normality.

Reflecting upon the end of Term 1 where we rapidly pivoted to remote learning, I was very proud of how our staff responded to the changing educational landscape. Catholic Education Office rolled out new tools, ran training for staff and students over a matter of days and as a school we were supported wholeheartedly by our 'IT Champions, Brendon Pye and Beck Casey. Teachers were creative in adapting curriculum, and solution-focussed in applying new technology skills to their remote learning delivery to enhance learning from home. They were brave in engaging with change and gave their time selflessly to ensure they were as ready as possible to give their best to support the students they teach.

Our teachers were continually role modelling for our students that with a sense of calm, positive collaboration and a good degree of resilience, solutions to challenges can be found. 

We were heartened to see our students reflecting on their remote learning experiences and setting goals for Term 3 as they strive to achieve their personal best.
