Continuity of Learning plan

Wednesday 18 March 9.15am

Dear Parents and Guardians,
 
The following resources are provided for your information. The guiding principles of the Continuity of Learning plan for our community will be enacted if or when a school closure is advised.

At this time, Avila College still does not have a confirmed case of COVID-19 and is operating as usual. However in the interests of keeping our community informed and aware, we thought it prudent to share these resources today.

Thank you to all our staff who are working tirelessly to continue to deliver curriculum at school and develop an online program for the future if required.
 

Dr Michelle Cotter
Principal
