HI TEAM FIGTREE,

This is not how we all thought we would spend Monday 30 March.  Instead of the school gradually filling up with students, then the bell ringing and 950 + students and 100 + staff heading off to class, the playgrounds and the corridors are empty.

I hear some talking in the distance and go to say hello to the twelve students who are working from school today, due to their parents’ essential work. They work on the same material as those at home, together in six classrooms supervised by a teacher. The other teachers are working independently at their computers preparing lessons for you.

Team Figtree is scattered across the Illawarra as Figtree HS students are doing Distance Education.

The feedback from teachers about you is amazing. They tell me that you are all taking this new way of learning seriously and giving it your best.  It’s new for teachers too. They are also doing a sensational job. What a great school! What a great team!

We may be apart but we are all together.

Our school is keeping in touch and we will keep this up until school returns.

Have great Monday 30th March.

Remember we are all in this together.  Go Team Figtree!!!!

Your principal,

Dan Ovens
