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.
Updated Information - Learning from Home Term 2
Hastings Secondary College will continue to provide updates to support your child's learning.
