2020 has been an interesting and challenging year and we truly thank our students for their awesome patience, adaptability and support.
Term 4 2020 allowed for us to go back to the Sydney CBD classroom, and things were starting to feel a bit normal for a while but 2021 has revealed some new cases and thrown us into lockdowns and travel restrictions.
It looks like 2021 will also have its challenges and our decisions will continue to be made by balancing the risks to student and staff health and well-being, together with the need to maintain quality education.
We will commence with online virtual classrooms until further notice. These classes will be reviewed throughout the year in response to the current COVID-19 status.
