Hasting Secondary College Principal's Message

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.
