Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our St Mary’s community for how they have embraced yet another lockdown in the face of the COVID crisis.
As of today, the children returned to Google Classroom to access their learning throughout the school. I would like to thank all staff members for their diligence and the creative manner in which they have planned across all curriculum areas to continue the excellent learning at St Mary’s. I look forward to seeing the tasks completed by students on Google Classroom and hearing about their successes.
I understand the challenges of maintaining remote learning in busy households, and with three teenage sons learning from home, it requires patience and a sense of humour at times. They all learn differently, and this is a reflection of their personality and individual needs.
I have attached an article from Micheal Grose from Parenting Ideas "Riding the COVID Wave" that highlights the importance of resilience and taking care of the emotional needs of our family during this time. We as parents take on work demands, home life and remote learning with our children, and at times this requires planning and the ability to multi-task throughout the day.
Take Care,
Maria Moore.
