Hasting Secondary College Principal's Message
I would like to welcome everyone back to Term 2, although the start has been a little different than normal. We are really looking forward to reconnecting with our students as we move into the next Phase starting Monday.
Staged Return of Students - Week 3 and Week 4
Week 3 (Monday 11 May)and Week 4 (Monday 18 May).
The staged approach allows the college to balance the many diverse considerations of the current pandemic, including the health and safety of all, student learning and social distancing requirements for students and adults at both campuses.
The college will continue to be open for the supervision of children whose parents are essential workers and are unable to learn from home
Continued Learning from Home - Term 2
In addition to the staged return of students, Hastings Secondary College will continue to provide updates to support your child's learning.
Learning from Home - Student Expectations
Hastings Secondary College students both onsite and learning from home have been invited by their teachers to join their online classes. Learning from home expectations and instructions can be viewed at the following link.
