KJ Linked - Weekly Learning Toolkit
07/07/2020 - KJ Linked Issue 13 released!
As you will have seen, the Government is encouraging secondary schools to consider a partial return for Year 10 and Year 12 students from Monday 1st June 2020. Our view continues to be that it is important that we take appropriate, extensive and considered actions to assure the safety of all members of our school community to make the right decision at the right time.
