Principal's Message
These are unprecedented times, with the effects of drought, bushfire and now coronavirus having a significant impact on all of us. I know that many people are concerned about conflicting messages about COVID-19 and that many of you are worried about your children and families.
I have been overwhelmed by how the staff at Hastings Secondary College have pulled together. They have been working hard to support our students.
- Keep calm – there are lots of things outside our control. Let’s remember to focus on what really matters. Hastings Secondary College will continue to focus on being a calm place where our students feel they belong and can learn.
- Be kind – we are all in this together. Reach out to help others who may be in need. Know that nearly everyone is feeling stressed and when we are on edge, we can be sharp when we do not mean to be.
Below is a message with specific advice from our school counsellors for you as a parent and carer.
Online Learning Support
Hastings Secondary College is operational. For students who are currently absent from their campus or in self isolation we have an online model to support our student learning. These resources focus on improving Literacy and Numeracy and will be updated regularly. The intention is that students work through the activities.
Students Technology Options From Home
Please inform us how we can best continue your child's learning in the event that schools are closed or you choose to keep your child isolated at home.
