MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parent/Caregiver,
First and foremost, thank you for your ongoing support through these challenging times. Our students’ ongoing
education and learning is at the forefront of our thinking.
We will continue to work in partnership with you in order to deliver an education program that enables students
to develop their skills and understandings through the provided curriculum.
The following package outlines student and teacher expectations for online learning, and how you as a
parent/caregiver can support your child with their online learning experiences.
These experiences will offer an opportunity to be creative, develop skills in the use of technology, stay connected
with their peers and teachers, and maintain the routine and structure that will allow our students to stay connected
with their learning.
Regards,
Joanne Costa
Principal
Tuesday 1 April, 2020
Page | 3RATIONALE
Purpose:
In the event of a school closure, an online learning environment will be enacted. The purpose of this document is
to outline the procedures for continued delivery of education programs at Modbury High School.
The aim is to:
Articulate clear processes and expectations for managing teaching, learning and wellbeing
Ensure continuity of learning for all students
Ensure integrity and fairness in assessment
Definition:
In the event of school closure, online teaching and learning at Modbury High School will see teachers utilising online
platforms (Daymap, Teams, Google Classroom and Zoom) to allow real-time, authentic and rich learning
opportunities for all students.
Students and teachers will connect, collaborate and learn in online classes. All students will have the same
opportunities to achieve and excel.
GENERAL INFORMATION
For successful online learning to occur, families are asked to establish the following protocols:
Students will need to access to appropriate technology (see “Technology Requirements” page 5)
Access to a workspace that is conducive to learning – that is:
a space that provides effective lighting and ventilation
access to a desk or table that provides an effective space for devices, books, and other resources, and
a comfortable chair that facilitates healthy body posture and comfort
away from distractions to their learning if possible
Students will be expected to prepare for each day as they would for a normal school day.
As much as possible, they should follow their usual routines, ensuring they have breakfast and are presented in a
neat and tidy manner. Students must be dressed in modest, respectful attire i.e. shoulders covered (no tank tops,
no offensive language or images on clothing).
Students will be expected to be “online” and available during scheduled lesson times to communicate with their
teachers, unless they are ill or are experiencing technical difficulties.
Students who are ill or are not well enough to be actively online during the day will be required to have their
parent/caregiver notify the school through the usual channel of a text to 0427013510, phone 8264 1955 or email
dl.0964.info@schools.sa.edu.au

Complete formative assessment tasks as required

Summative Assessment
Summative Assessment:
Is any method of evaluation performed at the end of a unit that allows a teacher to measure a student’s
understanding, typically against standardised criteria
Is used to gauge students’ comprehension of the material presented at the end of a particular unit of work,
and is often measured using a rubric to arrive at a final grade
Teacher Responsibilities:
Allocating summative tasks including timelines and due dates
Mark tasks and publish feedback and assessment results on Daymap
Provide a copy of the student declaration form with the task
Student Responsibilities:
Uploading of summative tasks to Daymap

Continuity of Wellbeing Services
During these challenging times, our mission is to continue to provide wellbeing guidance and support for all of our
students. Our Counsellors are offering phone and online support where students can continue to access and engage
with the Counsellors when necessary. Our Counsellors are considered first aid to mental health crisis and early
intervention for student wellbeing, and they can assist students with an immediate personal concern, crisis, or a
problem that may affect their wellbeing. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families are also encouraged to
reach out to access support should the need arise. Telithia Ha, our Aboriginal Teacher, will be communicating
extensively with our Indigenous families to ensure they are supported. Regardless of how trivial, it is our aim to
continue to build strong relationships with our school community and to ensure that all our students’ wellbeing
and academic needs are supported.
Students Accessing Support:
Counsellors, Year Level Managers and our Aboriginal Teacher will be available for students experiencing
difficulties and can be contacted via a Daymap message. Please indicate whether you prefer to be contacted
on Teams (voice chat only) or by phone (please provide the phone number you want to be contacted on)
The staff member will communicate with the student via a Daymap message to arrange a suitable time to
speak during school hours
The staff member will contact the student by their preferred method at the agreed appointment time
If the student does not answer, the staff member will attempt to phone them a second time. If there is no
response after the second call, a Daymap message will be sent to the student to determine if they still wish
to proceed with the meeting
A brief note will be recorded on Daymap that the student has accessed support. Normal school protocols
regarding student confidentiality will be maintained at all times
Students requiring immediate support should contact the relevant services listed below. While staff will endeavour
to respond to Daymap messages requesting appointments as soon as possible, they may not be able to give
students their initial time preference. If this is the case, they will arrange a mutually agreed time.
Wellbeing staff will be making contact by phone or email with students they currently support.
Our Counsellors have created a Counselling / Wellbeing Team on Teams. The code to join the team is: d2uc1s6
Page | 10External Providers:
If your child accesses wellbeing support from an external provider, the counselling service will make direct contact
with families to arrange their ongoing support.

Page | 11SACE and Expectations for Online Learning
Staff at Modbury High School are currently working very hard to ensure that the teaching and learning
opportunities for Stage 1 and 2 students consistently remain moving forward. These expectations have not
changed since the beginning of this year.
As we are now moving into an online format for the delivery of the teaching and learning, we wanted to take this
opportunity to reinforce learning and assessment expectations for Stage 1 and 2 students.
The Chief Executive of SACE Board, Professor Martin Westwell, has recently released a series of videos reassuring
teachers, caregivers and students regarding SACE Completion.
These videos are available via the following links:
https://www.sace.sa.edu.au/covid-19-coronavirus/for-students (Thursday 19 March)
https://youtu.be/LeljzuMvBCg (Tuesday 31 March - answering questions re Stage 2 about SACE, SATAC, ATAR, end
of year exams)
Our teachers will be providing lessons online and making resources available to all students. It is imperative that
for all SACE students, they:
Attend all lessons as required in accordance with their timetable
Engage in the learning provided during the lessons – this will provide feedback for the teacher around
understanding of the learning
Communicate regularly with teachers to maintain subject clarity
Meet subject expectations and assessment requirements by the set due date
Provide a Medical Certificate or other evidence if a due date cannot be met
Teachers and Learning Area Coordinators will be monitoring closely the progress of the students. We are seeking
the support of parents/caregivers in supporting and reinforcing our expectations with their students regarding their
learning, assessment requirements and due dates.
For subjects that have an exam, the SACE Board have stated that all exams will go ahead.
