Remote Learning

Announcements regarding any return to Remote and Flexible Learning will be made here.

Crusoe College is committed to ensuring that our students are still be able to access a viable curriculum through accessing online learning resources from home, as well as paper based resources for those who do not have access to a device or the internet.

The following arrangements are in place to support students, whether they are learning at school, or from home. Please note that while the College is prepared to commence remote learning, it won’t always be perfect and we will learn as we go. Our plan includes ways parents and students can be guided as to whom questions should be directed as well as specific expectations associated with all involved in this online learning experience.

Students are advised, where possible, to continue their learning in 70 minutes blocks of time throughout the day as they would at school. This will assist teachers with co-ordinating online video meetings, where the entire class can be contacted through a program such as GoogleMeet. Teachers will set online learning tasks on Compass under the Learning Tasks tab, that students will be able to access. They will let students know if, and when they will meet in an online video class.
