Key messages that will support the wellbeing of the Mount Sackville school community at this time include:
- Our school is opening up and we are really looking forward to welcoming our students back and helping them re-engage with learning in school
- Most students will be looking forward to school and meeting up with friends, teachers and other school staff. Many will feel excited, relieved and happy. Some may feel a little anxious and worried about getting back. That’s to be expected and it’s a normal response at a time of transition and change. Most students will settle in over time, as they reconnect with friends and get used to the new school safety routines
- We have been been working very hard to make sure that the school campus will be safe for all. This will mean some new routines and rules to keep everyone safe. We will support you to learn these new routines and rules
- We know that wellbeing is important and needed for learning to happen. We are prioritising the things that we know will promote wellbeing at this time
- We know that parent/guardians have made great efforts to support their child’s continued education when schools were closed and that parents have done your best. Teachers will be starting with where every student is at
Getting back to a school routine, getting enough sleep, eating healthily, taking physical exercise, taking some time to be creative and reconnecting with friends will help everyone to settle back in.
