CAREERS, VET & ONLINE CLASSES
VET Classes
VET classes will continue to be supported and function through Microsoft Teams. Each student undertaking a VET course has been placed in this Team to access communications from Mrs Dianna de Deuge and to seek support where needed. Students will need to continue completing theory work set by their providers and are required to attend weekly scheduled Teams video meetings which are scheduled according to their timetable. Students are to set aside the same amount of time at home for the completion of theory work that they would usually.
Online Subjects
All Online subjects are continuing to operate in Term 2 in the same manner as they did in Term 1. Students will check-in with Mrs Dianna de Deuge each week and will be required to participate in a weekly scheduled Teams meeting. Students are to contact their subject teacher first if they have any questions and to set aside the same amount of time for their subject as was required in Term 1.
CLP and Careers Information
Career and Life Planning is to continue via Microsoft Teams in Term 2, as per the student's Term 1 timetable. Students will be required to have a weekly check-in with Mrs Dianna de Deuge. University and other careers information specific to the impact of COVID-19 will be updated and accessible via the school website. For further information, please contact Mrs Dianna de Deuge.
