Learning from home responsibilities
We all have responsibilities to ensure learning from home is a success.
Parents and carers
Parents and carers are asked to provide support for your children by
- establishing routines and expectations
- setting aside a space for your child to work in
- monitoring communications from your child’s teachers
- beginning and ending each day by asking about your child’s learning
- taking an active role in helping your children with their learning
- encouraging physical activity and/or exercise
- remembering that your child might be stressed or worried during this time
- monitoring how much time your child is spending online
- keeping your children social, but setting rules around their social media interactions.
Students
Student responsibilities, which can be adjusted by age, are to:
- establishing and/or following a daily routine for learning
- working in the safe, comfortable, quiet space in their home that has been set aside for them
- regularly monitoring digital platforms and communication to check for announcements and feedback from teachers
- completing tasks honestly and doing their best work
- doing their best to meet timelines, commitments, and due dates
- communicating with their teachers if they cannot meet deadlines or require additional support
