In a letter sent to parents and families, principal Carmel Spry assured no student would be excluded.
“From today to Thursday, June 3, we will continue with face-to-face teaching for those NSW and Victorian students who are able to attend school as per the Victorian Health statement,” the letter said.
“The school will continue to run our timetable and where teachers are absent, we will organise for student supervision with appropriate work to be completed.
“Parents of Victorian students will need to make a choice as to whether or not their child/ren attend school during this lockdown period. Moama Anglican Grammar is not excluding any student from attending school.”
Ms Spry said students went home from school Thursday prepared to work from home if they needed to.
“Primary students have taken home a Chrome Book or iPad with the relevant chargers for use if they are unable to attend school next week and our IT staff will arrange for relevant programs to be downloaded remotely to school devices from the school,” she said.
“Secondary students who use a school device will have SEQTA access and will also have Microsoft Teams downloaded to their device from school.
“We have also suggested to secondary students that they take home some major textbooks they may need next week if they are unable to attend school.”
The letter also said the canteen would run as normal, as will buses from Monday.
Meanwhile, Victorian schools will return to remote learning once again from today.
Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School will have a pupil-free day tomorrow before going to remote learning from Monday, May 31, despite being able to fully open during previous lockdowns.
“Some students will be attending the school if they are the children of essential workers. The other students will be completing remote learning at home,” principal Paul Marshall said.
“We felt like there might have been a lockdown, so it wasn’t a surprise. The staff had already started to prepare school work for remote learning.
“My message for parents is to follow the advice and decisions of the government. We realise that these lockdowns are not ideal for our students; however, we need to do what we can to support their health and the health of the community.”
