Assemblies may not be on at the moment, but that doesn't mean we can't hear from our College Leaders. Here is a message for Finders students from College Vice-Captains, Jess and Justin. "Welcome to Week 10, the final week of Term 1! Since we unfortunately can’t have assembly in our remote learning environment, we would just like to take some time to say a few things.

First of all, it’s no doubt navigating this new remote learning world has been tricky for all of us, but we really hope you are getting into the swing of things. Amongst the many challenges we are facing at this time, we encourage you to stay positive and focus on the good things we still have.

As many of us have felt, it can be quite tiring to sit down at a computer for so long, so take the time to recharge and give your eyes a break from the screen.

A change of scenery can really help. Maybe take your computer out to the living or dining room for a change. Remember to rest your eyes and stay active! Whether it be walking around your house, doing some star jumps, or stretching out, any movement really helps you stay focused and healthy.

Since we can’t see each other in person, remember to check in on your friends and family because sometimes one small message can make all the difference. With the holidays just around the corner, we hope you achieve the very best you can before the break and have a restful and healthy holiday!
We are both incredibly proud of the effort and attitude everyone has put into adapting to the online environment and we look forward to everything next term has to offer.

Stay healthy, stay happy and stay connected this week and in the weeks to come!

Best regards,

Your 2020 Vice-Captains Jess and Justin"

Students may be at home rather than on campus, however, we can still connect and support one another! Our College Captains, Holly and Harrison and Vice-Captains, Jess and Justin met with Head of Senior School, Gary Davis online this morning to chat about ideas for leading our students from afar. Stay tuned to hear more from our wonderful student leaders. #proudtobeflinders

The College's Remote Learning Environment will commence on Thursday, 26 March.
Parents can log onto MyFlinders to access the Remote Learning Guides for Parents and Students.

Our wonderful teachers and support staff have spen

Our wonderful teachers and support staff have spent today’s student-free day further upskilling and lesson planning in preparation to begin our Flinders Remote Learning delivery tomorrow for students from Prep to Year 12.
There have been plenty of expert Webex and MyFlinders tutorials to help us all become more confident with the main communication and IT solutions we will be using with our students in the new remote learning environment.
Can we please offer the same advice to parents and students that we have shared with our Flinders staff team as we navigate our way through this new online learning environment: be kind and patient with yourself, encourage kindness and patience amongst your students, and trust that we will all become more confident and skilled in delivering remote learning with each day that we engage in this new way.
We are looking forward to delivering the quality Flinders education that we all know. There may be hiccups along the way but our staff team has been planning and training for this and we will do our best to guide our College community in a positive way.
Students - we’ll meet you online tomorrow at 8:35am sharp!
