Learning and Teaching at the College
Remote Learning
Teachers are continuing to work diligently to create and deliver engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students while we are in this current period of remote learning. Teachers are also working remotely, so they empathise with students about similar challenges they may be facing with sharing their learning space with other family members also learning or working from home. Students are expected to be participating in the learning activities set out by their teachers as best they can. Just as they would in a face to face lesson, students are encouraged to ask their teachers if they have questions or are unsure about the requirements for a lesson. Parents and caregivers can expect teachers to be alerting them via email if a student is not engaging with their classwork or is behaving inappropriately in zoom lessons.
