WELCOME TO ONLINE LEARNING

ZOOM provides opportunities for online lessons using a live video conferencing platform. This platform is provided by SCS for all staff and students to access for the purposes of learning. Staff ONLY have access to the software as they have the permissions to schedule and host meetings; students ONLY have access as participants via an invitation hyperlinked to your Compass lesson.

Many of our senior students have fast become familiar with accessing a Zoom meeting for their lessons. All participants in a learning environment have the right to learn, to be heard and to engage in listening to the ideas, questions and learning of others. Teachers and School Leaders will monitor student engagement and co-operation in online learning contexts in the same way we would if here on campus. Lessons are recorded. We will take seriously any student who disrupts the learning of others and work directly with parents on this matter.

For all scheduled Zoom lessons students, each student must abide by the following:

• The login name must be the student's full name otherwise the teacher will not admit them into the lesson

• Students click on the Zoom link and wait in the waiting room until admitted by the teacher.

• Students should not have their camera on to begin the lesson. They should only be turned on during the lesson if requested by the teacher. If the video is enabled they should have a blank background (preferably the camera is facing a wall) so that only the student will be in view of the camera and have on their school/sports uniform.

• Student's audio should be on mute unless invited by the teacher to talk
