Learning from home

To assist with learning from home in Term 2, our staff have put together take home packs, weekly plans as well as online learning through the Google Classroom Platform.

To support our families, this slideshow will demonstrate how to access stage classrooms and will guide you through using the tools within the e-learning model.

Your child will need their school email address (example@education.nsw.gov.au) and to use their new password, 123, to access their online learning.

Please contact your class teacher through Dojo if you are unsure of your child's username.
