We sent this message to our parent community this afternoon. Please take a moment to read about our plans to support students and families.

Good afternoon Parents/Carers,

In light of the ever-evolving circumstances regarding Covid-19, the staff at Tarremah is working to maintain the health and well-being of our students and our wider community, whilst also continuing our students' education.

We are continuing to implement higher levels of hygiene awareness amongst the students and staff, including regular and thorough hand washing, cleaning, and age-appropriate social distancing.

We understand and respect the decision of parents to withdraw students from face-to-face teaching, due to their individual family situation. We are conscious of providing resources to those who are not on campus. Whilst continuing to teach in the classroom, our Teaching staff are able to provide a daily activity in Literacy, Numeracy and an outline of the current Main Lesson to help those parents who are isolating to facilitate the learning of their children. We also expect that if a child is at home, their parents will engage them in physical activity and meaningful activities that contribute to life at home. The level of support would greatly increase if we were to temporarily cease classroom teaching and move to a remote learning arrangement. As this is a realistic possibility, we are exploring creative ways to deliver the best outcomes for our students.

Should we need to temporarily cease face-to-face teaching, we will change our focus to providing the best possible remote learning opportunities for our students. Such learning opportunities will take time to develop. They will need to be more substantial, and we will need to consider how to provide the best opportunities for learning new concepts. Teaching new concepts remotely, assessing understanding, modifying instruction, and reassessing will be more complicated. Please be assured that we are actively engaging in creating plans for such work, as well as continuing our face-to-face teaching. This process is demanding on staff. Much of this is beyond the normal scope of what is expected of a teacher, and we are conscious of their personal circumstances and potential inability to take on increased expectations. We are doing our best to support teachers as they do all they can to begin creating work that can be sent home and modifying programs for remote delivery.

We appreciate your confidence in our ability to deliver a wonderful curriculum for the children. If your child is off-campus, thank you for your patience whilst we develop resources to best advance their learning.

We will keep you abreast of any advice from Health Authorities, and please stay up to date with public health information from the health.gov.au website.

Our wonderfully healthy Tuckshop was another hit this week!
🍉🍓🥗
On Wednesday we were treated to homemade sausage rolls and cheese & spinach rolls with salad, followed by a banana and cacao smoothie.

Next week we will have nachos and salad. There are both meat and vegetarian options, and the meal includes an all-fruit natural slushie.

Thank you to Kylee and her helpers for bringing these delicious lunches to Tarremah!

Half of our Class 9 students are currently undertaking the Refugee camp.

This camp is designed to foster compassion and empathy towards people who need to flee their homes due to persecution, conflict, natural disasters, or a multitude of other reasons.

At the beginning of the week, the students pack all the gear they will need for a week into two shopping bags, and trek to their campsite. They exchange work for surrounding properties for food.

Civics and citizenship, and looking at world issues are major themes in the class 9 curriculum.

Class 7 are braving the wonderful weather on their Ropes camp!

This camp is designed to welcome the children into the high school; to encourage cooperative learning, and to foster resilience. Learning how to look after themselves and their classmates in heavy rain is a bonus learning experience this year ☔😊.

The students spend a day at the local Ropes course, and then walk the beautiful Kunanyi trails.

We look forward to welcoming the students back to school tomorrow afternoon, possibly a little damp and muddy, but no doubt in high spirits!
