What are your hopes for the rest of this term?

My hopes for the rest of the term are to finish the year really strong and enjoy all my time at school. Have fun with my friends and make the most of Year 9. I hope I make some great memories.

What did you do to prepare for your return to school?

To prepare to come back to school I try to organise everything I could, such as trying on my uniform and buying the things I am bringing for lunch. I also messaged my friends to see how they were feeling about going back to school.

What were two things you missed most about learning in the classroom?

I missed communicating with my friends. I couldn't talk to them face-to-face through remote learning. I also missed having face-to-face learning with teachers. Face-to-face communication is better than online learning.

What were two things you missed most about learning in the classroom?

During Remote Learning, I found myself missing the friendly atmosphere of our classrooms, being able to talk with friends and collaborate when doing work. I also missed being able to talk to teachers directly and see them when they're teaching us, rather than talking to an empty screen.

What are you most looking forward to about being back at school?

I am most looking forward to reconnecting with my peers and spending my final weeks as a CRC Caroline Springs student at school.
