As we hit the mid way point of the term and enter the next stage of our extended period of remote learning, in some instances there are also additional challenges facing a number of year groups with upcoming assessment tasks and the uncertainty of what the next few weeks will entail.  Over the past few newsletters a range of links to support services and organisations has been provided to assist with meeting the needs of individuals and families who are experiencing significant difficulty during lockdown. CatholicCare has put together a range of resource links to further assist with the complexities of the time. The link to these packs is below:
