Dear RSC community, today the government announced that we will remain in lockdown until Tuesday 27 July 11:59pm.

This means that we will continue with remote learning as per our current arrangement. We understand that individuals have a range of responses to this news. As a college, all that we can control is how we respond and that is to continue to provide routines and structure for our students and school community. We expect all students to attend class regularly (just like onsite learning) and our staff continue to work hard to provide authentic learning opportunities despite the challenges.

Course Counselling will continue as previously planned. Please see previous communication.

We encourage you to access all of our support documents on the RSC Community Site and please contact us if you need to.
