Senior School

Getting Ready for Learning

We recognise that each family has different routines, needs, strengths and passions.

The image below shows how learners may engage with their classroom and year level teachers.

Throughout the week, learning experiences in Google Classroom will lead to independent opportunities in all learning areas.

Resources for self-guided exploration are included on Junior, Senior and Specialists pages here on the Home Learning Hub.

Further suggestions can be found at the ACT EDU Home Learning Site.

Digital Backpack

The Digital Backpack is our online portal which provides safe and secure access to a range of online learning platforms for students. To access click the Digital Backpack icon (backpack.ed.act.edu.au)

Students will need to log in using their SchoolsNET username and password. If your child is unsure of these, please email your classroom teacher.

Google Classroom

From the Digital Backpack, your child will be able to access Google Classrooms. They should already be added to the relevant classes. Please contact your teacher if they are not.

This is where home learning tasks for the week will be posted, at 9.30am on Monday morning, and where students will be able to communicate with their peers and teacher to ask questions and submit work.

Communication

We know that the structure of our work day does not necessarily mirror your day of home learning, and that is ok.

If you need assistance or have a question about your child's home learning, please get in touch with your classroom teacher via email which can be found on the Contact Us page.

Resources

Below are websites recommended by your teachers, to continue learning if you have engaged with all learning experiences in Google Classroom.
