PL AT FO R M S IN USE
The College has established a Remote Learning Hub for students and
their families. The Remote learning Hub houses all information for stu-
dents about their classwork, assessment as well as wellbeing and faith
formation. It also acts as a centralised portal for all communication
to the community about remote learning and the phased return to
schooling.
S C HOOL R EMOTE LEARNING STRATEGIES
The Remote Learning Hub works side by side with existing College
platforms such as Compass and Google Classroom to ensure there is a
seemless and continuous communication with the community.

CURRENT APPROACH
KEEPING STUDENT’S CONNECTED
On the OLSH Remote Learning Hub, students are able to access a page for their year group
which houses fortnightly remote learning plans for each subject area. These learning plans
outline the key learning for each fortnight and outline a diversity of learning activities for
the fortnight. Opportunities for extension and both online and offline learning are clearly
explained, and students are given options for how they will demonstrate their learning to their
teachers. Students remain connected with their classes through both synchronous learning
experiences (e.g through use of Zoom) and also through opportunities to collaborate and
share ideas using other technology.
The Remote Learning Hub also connects students with a Google Classroom communication
page for each year level. This is used by the Leaders of Pastoral Care to connect with their
Year group on a regular basis. Leaders of Pastoral Care continue to connect with their year
groups through daily messages and pastoral activities for students to complete at home, with
an emphasis on wellbeing and mental health.
Fortnightly pastoral care lessons continue under the remote learning model.
CO M M U N I CATIO N
The College has been in regular communication with parents about the impact of COVID-19
on learning. Communication includes regular letters, emails, as well as information housed on
the Remote Learning Hub. The College has also produced special remote learning newsletters.
Communication about student learning is streamlined via the Remote Learning Hub. On this
site students can access learning plans for all their subject areas as well as information about
assessment, wellbeing and faith formation.
Each KLA has established online platforms for sharing resources and learning material with
students (such as Google Classroom) and students have been made aware of procedures for
getting support with their learning during this time.

resources to ensure continued connection and engagement with Catholic faith life during
remote learning. Resources available on this site include a message from the College REC as

A daily prayer continues to be shared with the community via compass, and communication
with families about significant faith events and local parish information continues via the
College newsletter.
