ONLINE LEARNING AND RETURN TO FACE TO FACE TEACHING

Well done to our amazing students for always doing their best and adapting to the remote learning world. It has been a steep learning curve for us all. 

We will continue to provide information with the current advice to ensure the safety of all students.

Week 3 arrangements have been posted to Compass by Mrs Holding so to summarise:

• Remote learning will continue in week 3
• Year 11 and 12 students may have some face to face classes but these will also have a ZOOM link so any student at home may join in.
• Year 11 and 12 students who House day is on a different day to a Year 1 or 12 day may choose to come in or learn from home.

If there are any difficulties with this arrangement please contact us here; we aim to be flexible with this transition and realise that the arrangements won’t fit with some parents working conditions. 

Week 4 will be advised.

However any student who needs to be at school for whatever reason, should come to school – the school has never closed and remains open.

USING ATOMI – YEAR 11/12

Just a reminder that each week you should set aside 1 hour to complete any clips marks as ‘need to revise’ Atomi identifies your weakest area and assigns targeted videos to help you with this. This is aimed to put the content you need to know into your long term memory – very helpful for exams!

YEAR 12 PARENT/TEACHER/STUDENT CONFERENCES 26 MAY

Each year there is a further opportunity for Year 12 parents and students to meet to discuss mid-year reports and the remainder of Year 12. This separate Year 12 PTS Conference will occur on the 26th of May from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. Interviews will be 10 minutes in length.

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions around social distancing, the Conferences will take place via ZOOM. Bookings for the interviews will be made via the School Interviews website as normal - go to: https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au

The booking code is: zrx6k

Bookings will be open from 9am Wednesday 13^th May.

Year 12 students will be given a meeting code/link for each teacher via one google doc which will be posted to both Compass and their Google classroom page so that they can access the Zoom platform. 

On the afternoon of the Conferences, students will join the meeting with their teacher - they may be in a ‘waiting room’ until the teacher is available but should remain there. Interviews should not exceed 10 minutes. 

Parents and students will be able to attend the conference from their home as no onsite conferences will occur.

If you have questions please contact us at the College.

THANK YOU PAST STUDENTS

Quite a number of past Hennessy students responded to our calls for assistance and have offered to help our senior students this term. This is wonderful and we encourage students to take advantage of this.
