Principal's Message - Meaghan Cook
To our valued Hastings Secondary College Community,
Welcome Back to Term 2.
Hastings Secondary College is committed to a staged return to school for all students throughout Term 2. A recommencement of online delivery for students (‘learning from home’) will continue from Wednesday 29 April 2020 using a combination of Google classroom and Zoom. Learning from home will continue until the end of Week 2, Friday 8 May 2020.
Non-Essential Working Parents and Families of Non-Essential Employees
We want to emphasise that students should not be attending school during weeks 1 or 2 unless their family is an essential worker or where families have no other alternative. Safety and the need for care and isolation cannot be underestimated.
Learning From Home Term 2
College students both onsite and Learning from Home have been invited by their teachers to join their online class. Learning from home expectations and instructions can be viewed at the following link.
