Principal Message
I know I say this often, but I am VERY proud to be a part of this campus, this College.
I have detailed below the planning for Port Macquarie Campus over the next coming weeks and into Term 2.
Rolls will be marked each day for students attending school. If parents/carers are self-isolating their child/ren at home as per the Premiers directions, they need notify the campus on 6583 1844 or email (hsc-portmacquarie-school@det.nsw.edu.au) otherwise the student will be marked as absent unexplained for those days.
This is an unprecedented time, and we need unprecedented kindness. Stay well, and be kind, friends. We need it now more than ever.
I’ll leave you with this:
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Helen Keller
Message from Executive Principal Hastings Secondary College - Ian Ross
As the situation changes in relation to this significant health crisis, we will inform you of any Department of Education updates and will continue to guide and support you.
The current levels of uncertainty affects all members of our Hastings Secondary College community – students, parents and families, and staff. I ask for your collective understanding and patience while we work with the information we are provided and the quickly changing environment to make plans for what lies ahead.
I encourage you to focus on supporting the wellbeing of your children and family.
Online Learning
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.
Teachers are currently creating resources for students to use in a variety of modes; this includes booklets of work, online learning links and direct contact via email. These resources focus on improving Literacy and Numeracy and will be updated regularly.
The intention is that students work through the activities. The links can be used as a self paced learning or to facilitate current assessment tasks which students are encouraged to continue working on.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held via phone conversation. Please return your expression of interest as per link below. Conferences will held between Wednesday 1 April - Thursday 9 April.
