Article by Mr Michael Timms
To state the obvious, it has been a very different and at times challenging beginning to the Term. However, the students have embraced the change, as young people do, and have definitely risen to the challenge of Remote and Flexible Learning. I am personally very grateful for the way they have demonstrated their flexibility and acceptance towards this new style of teaching and learning for Saint Ignatius College. I am also very appreciative of the ongoing support the parents / guardians and wider community have given the College during this unprecedented time.
Remote and Flexible Learning does provide new challenges that some students may at times find difficult. These challenges could be presented through the isolation they have from their friends, peers and organisations that they are involved in; an inability to be physically active through their sports and / or activities that they would normally participate on a regular basis; or simply not having the general supports around them that quite often provide that necessary support for their mental health.
It is important during this time of Remote and Flexible Learning that we constantly consider and are aware of the health of our young people, specifically their mental, physical and social health. There is a significant amount of resources available online in relation to the support that young people and parents/guardians could utilise to support each through this challenging phase and navigating through this material can be difficult.
I have attached a document and provided some links to websites that highlight specific areas that individuals can utilise to ensure they are looking after their own and others mental and physical health. The information also highlights and offer suggestions how young people can stay connected with her/his peers during these uncertain times. Sharing and discussing this information with each other is a great way to check in with one another, and develop a supportive and open environment.
As a College we are working through ways to best support our students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Wellbeing Officers have developed a great resource for the College community, that provides advice and resources specifically during this time. This resource can be found under the Wellbeing Tile on CANVAS, which is available on every students CANVAS Homepage. This is a fantastic resource and I would encourage all students and parents/guardians to familiarise themselves with this information.
