Principal's Message

Thank you to all concerned who have helped Dianella Secondary College navigate our way through the most testing of times.
Our staff, both teaching and non-teaching, have been working tirelessly to prepare for term 2 which will move to an online platform.
For those students who cannot access the internet, hard copied packages are being prepared. No student will be disadvantaged.
 
As you would now be aware the Premier and Minister for Education announced changes to the school term, meaning students should remain at home from 6th April
and only attend school if they cannot be supervised at home. It is critical that students remain at home where possible and adhere to the strict social isolation rules.
Students attending school for social purposes must be strongly discouraged by parents and care-givers.
 
During this time, you can help support your child by:

1. Providing a quiet place to study that is observable. This allows you to know what they are doing.
2. Developing regular routines that include going to bed at a reasonable time and rising from bed as they would normally.
3. Ensure your child has time in their day to exercise.
4. Make reading an everyday occurrence.
5. Involve yourself in their learning, ask questions and offer support where possible.
6. And most importantly, do not stress.

 
I will continue to communicate with you in the coming weeks via SMS, our web page or Facebook as we prepare for any further changes to our learning delivery.
Please continue to communicate with the school via phone or email where possible.
 
I would like to thank you all for your support and patience.
 
Regards,

Wayne Austin
