Learning for all at Morgan Street

Welcome back to Term 2. We commence this term in a similar manner that we finished Term 1. We have the majority of our Morgan Street family engaging in learning at home. In Week 3 we will move to Phase 1 in which students will be able to attend for one day per week. We will designate days and this will be communicated to our families on Friday. Next Monday we will hold a community Zoom meeting to outline the transition to Phase 1 and gather feedback from you as to how the Learning Packs are going and what could be improved. The Zoom meeting details are below and they will be shared out through class Seesaw accounts as well.

We need to ensure we are following the health directives so if your child is unwell, please keep them home. As is our normal procedures we will be contacting families for students who are unwell at school. To ensure we are adhering to social distancing at drop offs and pick ups we ask that this process occurs quickly. Please enter the school only if you need to, we certainly understand that this may be necessary for younger students. Please discuss with your child the pick up process so that they understand. Our school operations at the moment are certainly not the first choice for anyone. As a community, Broken Hill has responded well to this health pandemic and we are lucky to have had only two confirmed cases that have now made a full recovery. If we all play our part we will beat this and we can resume our ‘new normal’. Have a wonderful week of learning and stay safe. Thought for the Week: “Change will come our way. We can go through it or we can grow through it. We grow

when we seek out solutions rather than let obstacles hinder us.” George Couras

Wednesday 29th April 2020 Term 2 Week 1

It was great to see so many of our school

community recognise ANZAC Day at their home on

Saturday.

Traditionally, this week we would be holding a

school ANZAC Day assembly hosted by our Year 6

students.

Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for our

virtual assembly.

If you have any photos or videos of your children

laying wreaths or commemorating ANZAC Day at

home, please email them through to

carol.muir@det.nsw.edu.au by Thursday 30th April.

All of our classes at Morgan Street Public School use Seesaw as a learning tool to help stu-

dents and families connect with their teachers. Please keep checking Seesaw daily to keep up-

Thanks to those students and families who have engaged online regularly via Seesaw.
