To start this week’s report, I would like to remind students of some good practices for online etiquette.

• Remember that when you are on camera you are live. Your teacher and class members can see what you are wearing, where you are sitting and your facial expressions. Find a quiet place in your house. Dress appropriately, following the school dress codes. If possible, wear earphones with a microphone.
• Follow the school ROCKS expectations for learning and behaviour that you would follow if you are at school. Listen to the teacher, take turns to speak and be kind and considerate.
• Think before you type if you are using chat, choose your words carefully using appropriate spelling and grammar.

Grade assemblies are every Thursday after Class Teacher and I would like to remind students of some ongoing events for the remainder of Term 2.

• Curiosity Program - If you are interested in focussing your learning in a specialised area please see Mr Chamberlain or Mrs Williams for more information.
• Weekly Check in Survey is completed every Monday and Friday during Class Teacher and students are supported by their Class Teacher, Grade Leader and Grade AST if there are any concerns.
• Beacon Foundation have launched Be@Connected. It is a new series of online learning programs, available on YouTube throughout Term 2. Be@Connected will feature a range of prominent and inspiring speakers from a variety of fields covering topics including communication, resilience, wellbeing, problem solving and adaptability. The short series is specifically designed for students across Australia to support them through this period of uncertainty. Speakers include National Ambassador and Australian Test Captain Cricket Captain Tim Paine, Sarah Veale past player and present coach of the Launceston Tornadoes as well as Olympic Swimmer Ariane Titmus.
• Nurse Dani’s Health and Wellness Resources for KMHS. Dani’s support resources include Strong Physical Health, Positive Mental Health, Teenage Stuff and Coping with COVID 19.

As students move into week 5 of online learning, they are encouraged to continue to do the following

• Actively engage in Class Teacher and subject tutorials
• Respond to correspondence from teachers through CANVAS
• Regularly check school emails
• Adhere to due dates or contact teachers to arrange flexible submission times
• Take brain breaks, get outside and get active. (Check your HPE canvas page for workout ideas)
