Dear Parents and Carers, Over the past week, the number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Australia has escalated, which is justifiably triggering increased concerns across our College community. Following the directions of the Victorian Government, we are going into a snap lockdown from 11.59 pm tonight (Thursday 15 July) until, and including, Tuesday 20 July 2021. At SMCOC, we have been committed, since the outbreak of COVID-19, to keep our students and staff safe. In addition, one of our key priorities is to ensure minimal disruption to teaching and delivery of lessons throughout the rapidly changing landscape caused by COVID-19. Students of SMCOC will move to remote and flexible learning and care from Friday 16 July 2021 to Tuesday 20 July June 2021. For students from Year 5 – Year 12 • Daily timetable will run as per normal scheduled times. • Teachers and students have access to Zoom Education and can log in from anywhere. • Teachers will deliver their lessons as virtual classrooms via Zoom Education. • Teachers have live monitoring, which allows real time tracking of students’ progress. • Teachers have instant messaging, which enables them to provide immediate feedback and support. • Any Recorded lessons or resources will be uploaded on SEQTA. • Detailed daily lesson plans and resources will be uploaded on SEQTA. • Teachers and students will communicate daily via SEQTA Forums and Direct Messages.
