General Information for Schools

Students will have two scheduled online lessons a week and will be expected to complete work outside this time. Resources for learning will be available online as per teacher instructions.

Regular communication with stakeholders

• We will continually update you about changes to our working arrangements that impact on students learning
• Teachers will be communicating with you regularly with specific subject-related information.

Flexibility with assessment timelines

• When teachers extend deadlines on tasks, they will communicate this to you
• Deadlines are flexible and can be renegotiated by contacting the teacher before the due date

Flexibility for supervised tasks

• Supervised tasks will be emailed to you from teachers. We will rely on you to distribute supervised tasks.
• A supervision declaration form can be downloaded from the sidebar of this page – We ask for this to be completed and returned ASAP to Student.Services805@schools.sa.edu.au
• Lesson recordings will be available for all lessons.

All lessons will be recorded and saved online for students to access.

If you have questions regarding a specific subject, please contact the subject teacher directly..

If you have any questions about managing the continuity of learning for your OAC-enrolled students, please email Kieran Hodgson at Kieran.Hodgson745@schools.sa.edu.au.
