Term 2- Online Learning

Kia ora Students from SKC Online School!

As you know, the school term starts tomorrow Wednesday 15th April.

All students and whanau should have received relevant emails regarding their online learning. If you have not, please contact dhayes@stkevins.school.nz or check on the St Kevin’s College website

Here is a reminder of information that has been sent out:

In order that you are not online for too long during the day, the school day has been shortened from 10am - 3pm.

The period times have changed because of this

Period 1 10am - 10:40
Period 2 10:40 - 11:20
Period 3 11:20 - 12:00
Lunch
Period 4 1pm - 1:40
Period 5 1:40 - 2:20
Period 6 2:20 - 3pm

In your mind, you will need to think that you are staying in your classroom and the teachers will come to you. Teachers will be using a combination of Google classroom, meetings and online platforms to continue to teach you.

If you are in Year 9 or 10, you need to log into the meeting links that are on the School Website under the drop-down menu - “Online Learning":

Once you are in this meeting, you can stay on it for the day and your teachers will come to you, to teach your class.

Some things to remember about using meetings:

1. Please don’t have your computer at your bed.

2. Please mute your mic until you need to speak to avoid unneccesary background noise.

3. Assume someone is watching you even at lunchtime ( If you are going to practice your “tik-tok” dance moves, probably best not to do it in front of your computer camera).

4. If there is something you don’t understand, direct message your teacher in Google Classroom and they can give you some extra help without you having to ask in front of the class if you are not happy to.

5. All lessons online will be recorded so you need to ensure that your behaviour in front of the camera is something you are happy to have on permanent record

6. Your ATL’s and reports are based on how much you engage so please fill out the form in the online section before 1pm each day
