Redhill’s executive head, Joseph Gerassi said children need to learn how to adapt to the new normal, and school was a safe place to do this.
“Ultimately, although our kids enjoy being online, they are social beings – the vast majority of them – and you can see that if you’ve taught for many years, you know how much they love being at school and the social aspect,” Gerassi said. “Younger students in our Early Learning Centre and Junior Prep were the ones who were struggling the most during lockdown as they were too young to enjoy vast amounts of online learning and screen time.
“As a result, our campus is under 30% occupancy per day [including teachers and admin staff] – well within the legislated health and safety protocols. Wednesdays on campus [when the whole school is online] are dedicated to our grades 11 and 12 students who need to come onto campus for their required assessments and practicals,” she added.
