Year 9

Pastoral Care Program

We are almost two weeks into remote learning. Now that students have had the opportunity to establish good habits at home, Tutor Time will become less about completing formal activities and more of an opportunity for students to interact with each other. Students will have the opportunity to check-in with their Tutor and chat with theTutor Group. 

Tutor Time will continue to start at 10.30am via Zoom and will run for 20 minutes. However, students are welcome to stay with their group for the remaining 10 minutes.

  • Tutors will say hello to students each day. They may run some fun activities to allow interactions to take place between everyone in the Tutor Group.
  • Suggested activities will be provided. Tutor Groups can also come up with their own activities.
  • Chapel will be held each Friday. Everyone will attend their Tutor Group Zoom meeting when they will watch a message from our Secondary School Chaplain. Students can then opt to either complete Chapel reflection questions provided or step away from their screens prior to Period 3. 

Thank you all for your feedback. We can assure you that all feedback is considered as we continue to navigate this new style of teaching and make adjustments to enhance our remote learning experience for students, parents and teachers.

Parent Reading: Maintaining Parent Wellbeing 

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted all of our lives. Parenting a teenager can be challenging at the best of times, but for some, this upheaval in our social, work and school life may make things even more difficult. While you’re trying to support your teen through all the changes, it’s easy to forget about yourself. However, by prioritising your own wellbeing, you’ll feel better and be more able to support your teen. ReachOut Parents offers some advice on how parents can maintain their own wellbeing during coronavirus.
