iDear Members of the St John's Catholic College Community,

In response to the Minister's Statement on Thursday 9 April, I write to provide clarification regarding arrangements

for the commencement of Term 2. In line with the Minister's Statement, St John's Catholic College will open for

learning on Monday 20 April providing a mixed mode of education delivery for Day and Boarding Students.

Day Students:The Day School will open for learning for Term 2 from Monday 20 April. However, the College respects

Parents'/Guardians' right to keep their children at home due to the continuing and unprecedented circumstance

regarding COVID-19. Day Students remaining at home at the commencement of Term 2 will need to access education

via the online learning management system, Edmodo: https://new.edmodo.com Parents/Guardians are requested to

notify the College on 8982 2222 or at admin.stjohns(n)nt.catholic.edu.au should you make the decision to keep your

son/daughter at home.

Boarding Students:As per my letter Wednesday 8 April, given the ongoing health, safety and wellbeing concerns for our students and

staff, and given the restrictions put in place in remote Aboriginal and Islander communities. St John's Catholic College

Boarding Students will not return to the College as per the previously published College Calendar date of Monday 20April. The College intends to review this decision on Monday 18 May (Week 5) (unless advised earlier by relevantauthorities) to determine whether it is safe and feasible for Boarding Students to return for the remainder of Term 2.

Boarding Students will need to continue to access education via the online learning management system, Edmodo:

https://new.edmodo.com In addition, paper copies of assessment items, resources and activities have been sent home

with the Interim Academic Reports. Boarding Students are most welcome to attend as Day Students during this time.

Updates during the holidays:The College will continue to monitor the situation and receive advice from the Australian Government, Northern

Media Statement on Term 2 in NT Schools

9 April 2020

I understand that families, parents, students and school staff require clarity about school attendance for Term2.

Education in the Northern Territory next term is compulsory.

All students are expected to attend school from day one, Term 2 - Monday, 20 April.

Unless your school contacts you directly with alternative arrangements, you should plan for your child tophysically attend school.

Exceptions can be made for parents who have informed the school their child will be learning from home.

I would like to thank all teachers, support staff and departmental staff, our students and their families, for theirpatience and understanding in the extraordinary circumstances we have found ourselves in throughout Term 1 .

I wish everyone a safe and happy Easter and please heed the advice to stay home over the school break, toprotect the lives of our fellow Territorians.
