REMOTE LEARNING SLIDESHOW
We hope you enjoy viewing our remote learning slideshow above. These (fantastic) pictures certainly tell the story of AVPS's 'Flexible and Remote' learning program; some are similar - some very different. The emphasis definitely being on 'flexible'- to suit family circumstances.
Thank you to those families who have shared photos. This slideshow will remain a feature of our fortnightly newsletter. So, if you would like to contribute to this and give permission for shared images to be published in our newsletter (on our website) please forward your favourite learning at home pics to
Sue's email address (found on the compass alert).
