COVID–19 and Teaching and Learning

These are certainly interesting times as our Men of Learning week wraps up signalling the end of Week 7 and the start of the run home into the holidays, against the backdrop of attention being paid to this emerging and evolving issue.

As of the publication of this newsletter, nothing has changed from a teaching and learning perspective at the College. Our normal learning programs continue and our current policies around assessment apply. 

Our Assessment Policy can be found on the teaching and learning page on REALM. Please note the expectation for medical documentation to be provided should a student (in Years 10-12) be unable to attend an examination or complete assessment continues. I ask that communication with the Curriculum Office is a priority should this be the case, as our policy expects. If you run into unforeseeable difficulty in accessing medical documentation due to the emerging COVID–19 situation, please contact the Curriculum Office for advice on how to proceed. 

Please note that if any changes are made to any assessment policies, these will be communicated to parents via REALM and they will also be reflected in amendments to the Assessment Policy. At this stage, we have yet to receive any advice from QCAA indicating changes to existing policies and procedures. 

Men of Learning Week

This week we celebrated Men of Learning Week. From my perspective it was a very rewarding week, with students enjoying activities in the heart of our learning environment (the Library), well attended study skills workshops, and a Men of Learning assembly that judging by the boy’s reaction, was a hit!

I would like to thank all our wonderful classroom teachers who contributed by providing shout outs to students, organised assembly items, ran activities or just conveyed the messages around being a Man of Learning during the week. A special thanks to Liz Skinner and her library team, Mr Chris Herrod for celebrating our vocational students, and Liz Skinner and Chelsea Parakas for their excellent presentations during the Parent Literacy Workshop on Wednesday night. We look forward to continuing to push this message around valuing and celebrating learning.
