While we have a fantastic group of relievers, due to increased demand across many local schools, we have not been able to secure enough relievers this week to cover all our classes. We are now unfortunately in the situation again where we need to roster a year level home each day to ensure that our students can continue with their learning in the best environment possible. We are hoping that this week provides a circuit breaker and that school can return to normal next week. From tomorrow we will be rostering a year level home each day, starting with Y12. When a year level is rostered home, the expectation is that students are completing work set on their google classroom.
