“Providing an online school that meets the accessibility needs of all families – this is very difficult. Not all families in our school community have equal access to equipment. Students are sharing computers and other mobile devices not only siblings but also their parents who are also working from home. The strength of the Internet connection varies and many families do not have printers. Due to this some students may not be able to fully access all that we have to offer through the online platform that we are using, such as not being able to attend an online class if their parents have to use the computer. We therefore encourage families to do what they can and also teachers to be as flexible as possible in their approach – if a student cannot attend an online lesson because of technical issues then teachers can forward them and their parents the work that they need to catch up on afterwards for example.

The online teaching world is vastly different from the classroom world. There are more variables to consider – being able to monitor exactly what the child is doing and ensure that they are engaged and not in fact playing games on their computer for example, is much more difficult compared to being in the classroom. Strict rules for online lessons must be enforced and often they are very different to the rules that we would have in the regular classroom. We have rules for assessment of course but now these have to be re-considered in the online world. New ways of effectively assessing students’ knowledge need to be considered. Teachers have to exercise their creativity to a greater degree in the online world and research new teaching resources in order to still be able to teach the program.

In our school we have been introduced to an online platform (Microsoft Teams) that we will certainly be able to utilise in the future. In a majority of cases teachers and students are happy with the functionality of the platform and the ways in which they have still been able to connect with one another. In the future we may still be able to utilise this platform to conduct staff meetings for staff who are unable to attend in person as well as provide work for students who are unable to be at school for an extended period of time because of illness.

In addition, this situation has taught us that our school, it’s staff, parents and teachers are able to adapt tremendously in situations such as this. We would never have imagined a scenario like this, but in a matter of a few weeks we have been able to work towards a solution. The strength of character exhibited by all members of the CSW community has been wonderful to see and hugely motivating. We now know that even if presented with the most dire of challenges, we have the strength to prevail.”
