Homeschooling or Learning From Home? What are the differences?

There is much commentary and advice in the media about 'homeschooling' in the context of these current times. This can be confusing for families who are now doing their best in juggling the demands of home and work as well as now supervising the learning of their sons.

We want to ensure that our families know that we are not asking for you to homeschool your sons; we as teachers will set, monitor and feedback on learning for your sons throughout the Learning From Home arrangements. We ask that our parents and guardians are setting routines and have expectations with their sons about working hard and striving for their best in learning.

As we start working in this way, we will communicate with parents and guardians about how learning is going, especially if we have concerns. We ask you to let us know any concerns that arise from your perspective as well.

AS A PARENT YOU CAN HELP YOUR SON BY:

Establishing routines and expectations
Defining a space for your son to learn and where an adult can monitor the learning
Monitoring communications from school and teachers
Take an active role in helping your son process his learning
Encourage physical activity and exercise
Check in with your son to ensure he is managing the stress
Monitor how much time your son is spending online
Setting rules around your son’s social media interactions
Communicating with the school if your son is unable to participate in learning from home
