Good afternoon everybody,

As we conclude Week 2 of our Remote Learning program, it is fair  to say that there has been a considerable change regarding how we are monitoring the Pastoral Care and Wellbeing at Mount Carmel. In last week’s newsletter item I suggest that we would be undertaking a number of ways to connect with students and families as a means of checking-in. This has taken place and even as late as this morning all year groups undertook a variety of techniques such as Zoom meeting, Google surveys and Video trivia competitions as a means of communicating and getting feedback from students in these rather challenging circumstances. A massive thanks to all students, families and staff for the work and support that has gone on over the past 2 weeks as we try and maintain “business as usual” in times that present unusual business that we are actually dealing with.

The coming week of Professional Learning will allow staff to evaluate, reflect and refine the practices and processes that we have put into place over the past fortnight so that upon our return in Term 2, we will continue to provide a high level of learning and care for the wellbeing of all students and families within our community. In the meantime, should you or your son/daughter have any concerns, please email or phone the College and you will be put through to a staff member who will be able to provide the support that you require. 

On Thursday morning a Remote Learning reminder was forwarded to all staff and students. Here is a link for you to access Remote Learning Reminder - April 2 2020. 

Regards

Mr Simon Huntly

Pastoral Care and wellbeing Coordinator
