With the extension of this period of remote learning, we as a College are taking the opportunity to reflect on the past three weeks of remote learning as a means of improving this unique method of delivery in the weeks ahead. To that end, I would strongly encourage parents to continue offering feedback to the College with regards to how your sons and daughters are progressing at this time. Our staff are making very conscious efforts to not only cater for each student's academic needs, but are also prioritising their pastoral wellbeing. In order to ensure that we are doing this effectively, we encourage feedback on what may be working well, in addition to input regarding how remote learning can be improved. This feedback can be directed towards individual teachers, KLA (subject) Coordinators, Year Coordinators or via the front office. Similar feedback is being sought from students by a formal fortnightly surveying process. I sincerely thank the parents and students who have provided such valuable feedback to date. 

Finally, another reminder that despite the overwhelming majority of students now working remotely for the time being, I would ask families to please continue following our COVID recording procedures, which include: 

• Informing the school immediately if your child is self-isolating or undergoing testing, and informing us of the result as soon as possible.

• Following sickness with flu-like symptoms, ensuring your child is free of symptoms and can present a negative COVID-19 test, before attending the College site for any reason. 

All the best for the week ahead.
