News and Events

Today the Premier announced whilst all public schools will remain open until the end of term, families are strongly encouraged to keep their children at home if they have the capacity to do so.
I would like to share with you what this will mean for our school community:
Monday 30 March to Friday 3 April
• All children who attend school will be taught as normal.
Final week of Term – Monday 6 April to Thursday 9 April
• Students who attend will be supervised, but not taught normal lessons.
• Teachers and education assistants will prepare teaching programs for Term 2.
Term 2 – commencing Tuesday 28 April
• At this stage arrangements for Term 2 have not been finalised. The State Government is working on developing a longer term education model for Term 2 and beyond in response to COVID-19.

Please be assured that when I receive further information I will provide details to you as soon as I can.
I would like to thank you for your support and cooperation during this unprecedented situation. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to follow up any issue or concern.

Our priority is the health and well being of students and staff. The college continues to provide a calm and orderly place for our students. Many families have understandably opted to keep their children at home. Fortunately, with our BYOD program, all students are able to access our classroom-based curriculum via Google Classroom. At this stage, we would advise families to not be concerned about any missed assessments or tests, as this is not a priority. The College is well placed to progress to a more comprehensive approach of distance education if there is a school closure. It is important to have Zuludesk installed. Please help us prepare for the future.
With fewer students attending campus it is also assisting with our social distancing protocols.

The 2019 Year Book has arrived and ready for collection for those families who have ordered a copy. If you would like to check if you have one on order, please contact our friendly office staff to assist. There are a limited number of additional copies available for purchase also.

I regret to inform our community that we have had to suspend our Academies as it is a non-essential activity. We are attempting to focus our staff and students on essential teaching and learning activities. I hope you will understand that is a difficult decision but it is in the best interests of staff and students.

Aveley Secondary College Breakfast Club is cancelled and will be for the foreseeable future. We will inform you when we are able to recommence.

We are implementing the Department’s policy. No assemblies, including Anzac Day, whole school or year assemblies will take place until further notice. Students will be given instruction on hygiene, social distancing and will be separated at recess/ lunch times into groups of fewer than 500 students using designated locations. We are currently working on online teaching strategies should any closures occur. Any closure is made on the advice of the Department of Health. Full details will be sent to all families through an email as soon as we can.

Our Year 7 and 8 HASS classes have been engaging in role play activities as part of the Civics & Citizenship. Year 7 students have been learning about the different responsibilities of each level of government in Australia. They have worked in groups to create creative and informative role plays in the form of quizzes, game shows, interviews and news segments.

Even Friday after school our classrooms are still a buzz of activity with our after school Academy programs. We appreciate the hard work of our teachers to provide so many opportunities for our students, in so many ways.
