Distance Learning

• This new topic was developed as a result of the need for students to learn from home during Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. It may also apply in other situations when a student, or students, cannot attend school for a prolonged period.
• This topic was added to all schools' sites at the end of term 2, 2021.

Delivering Online Learning

• Added the following wording to the bullet about keeping records/recordings: "(if recording online sessions, we make sure students are aware that the session is being recorded)".
