Learning workspace
It is essential when remote learning to have a safe work environment, and if possible a separate learning space from play area. This allows students to be organised and focus on their schooling.

Cyber Safety
We all need to educate ourselves when being online, we need to be aware of the risk, be responsible and know how to protect ourselves. Talk to your children about cyber security, especially when communicating with others. Make sure you communicate with the school if you are aware of any potential cyber incidents or cyber concerns during remote learning.
