Additional homework for extended Schools closure
As announced on 28 March 2020, all schools will remain closed for a further week until after the Easter weekend. To support children in continuing their education during this time we have created additional homework packs for those children who have completed all homework previously issued. These packs will be available from today, Thursday 2 April 2020, as follows:
- Prince Andrew School students
Any parent who would like to request further homework from the School, can do so by calling 24290 and leaving a message with their name and contact number. You will be contacted to make arrangements for collection. Alternatively, you can email the school via: enquiries@pas.edu.sh
Mrs Herne would like to remind her Yr 11 Child Development students to continue working at home, where possible, with their coursework. Should you need to contact Mrs Herne about any aspect of your coursework, please call her on Tel: 24935.
We would be grateful if parents would kindly refrain from phoning any other staff member at their home.
- Primary School pupils
Parents can email kurt.thomas@sainthelena.gov.sh or call the Education Learning Centre on Tel: 22607. Please advise the Year Group that your child is in and make arrangements with Kurt for collection.
In addition to this children can also access educational activities online and through educational apps. Some suggestions are as follows:
