They may have started this year with excitement and nervousness about the final year of school. You were getting ready to launch your child into the world. There were driving lessons, formals, university open days, study plans, subject choices, the beginning of such a wonderful adventure. Then on March 11th the World Health Organisation warned us that the world was about to change, very fast, and with no regard to the meaningful details, or the importance of this year - to you and your Year 12 student.

The grief, the stress, and even the change in learning context may strongly impact your childs ability to learn and remember. You can support your independent home learner to lower stress and accept their learning environment, in turn allowing them to grow, and develop the new skills needed to navigate the change in this new, albeit temporary, Covid-19 world.
