Baulkham Hills North Public School Home Learning Hub 2021
Welcome
Baulkham Hills North Public School Home Learning Hub
We are all in this together!
COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it – well, at least for the time being, and until we return to normal operations and have our students back with us each day, we will be relying on delivering the school’s learning program remotely to the majority of our students at BHNPS.

How to Guides
A range of guides are available to help you navigate the new world of Learning from Home.
Setting up a Learning Area
Try to create a quiet and comfortable learning space. Your child may have a regular place for doing homework under normal circumstances, but this space may not be suitable for working in for an extended period of time.
A space/location for extended learning should be a public/family space, not in a bedroom. It should be a place that can be quiet at times and have a strong wireless internet signal, if possible. Above all, it should be a space where you or another adult is present and monitoring your children's learning.

Australian Curriculum
It is parents, families and carers who have the most influence on their children. When families are actively involved in their children’s education, children usually enjoy school and achieve better results.
This website provides information for families and carers about their children and the Australian Curriculum.
DoE Parent and Carers Toolkit
To support the hard working parents and carers that support us all, The Department of Education have created an 'essentials' toolkit packed with self-care tips and handy lists for the school holidays and beyond.
