Since May when we pivoted to online learning, my favourite part of each day would have to be the morning check-ins via tutor groups or through our Junior School classroom teachers.
I have loved hearing questions that privilege gratitude, but also the wider growth of conversation and relationships:
“What’s the best thing that happened to you today?”
“What’s a story – from a book, movie, article, conversation – that you’ve been gripped by recently? Why did it capture you?”
“What habit have you started, or broken, during your time at home?”
“What are some things you’ve realised you don’t really need?”
“What’s something you miss that surprises you?”
“How do you want this experience to change you? How do you think it will?”
“What do you hope we all learn or take away from this experience?”
“What part of online learning do you want to keep as we look at returning to campus?”
As with everything we do at A.B. Paterson College, the questions we ask our students are purposeful. The intent is to focus on building a rich dialogue between teachers and students – but also between our students – to ensure they are developing and/or practicing critical thinking. The questions also prompt the evaluation of their unique, yet shared circumstances, and help develop those reflective practices important for learning. Further to this, these questions frame the start of a day’s learning, and reinforce thinking patterns that are positive and deliberately fostered in order to build resilience in our students.
Within our A.B. Paterson College Online Learning Plan, we are continuing to privilege wellbeing as part of the timetables. Each time we survey our students, to ensure we are focusing our resources in order to best support them. The results continue to be positive, reflective, and beyond everything our students are continuing to be agile, knowing they cannot control everything, but they can control their reactions.
On Monday 11 May, we are looking forward to welcoming back students for on campus learning in:
Prep
Year 1
Years 11 and 12
Students in these cohorts will revert to their usual class teachers for face to face learning, while continuing to follow the online learning timetable for the fortnight, 11 May to 25 May.
Students in Years 2-10 will continue to follow the A.B. Paterson College Online Learning Plan from Monday 11 May to 25 May. Provisionally, these students are scheduled to return to the College from Monday 25 May, however confirmation of this return will be announced on Friday 15 May.
To ensure the safe return of our students and staff, we have engaged further cleaning measures across the College. This includes deep cleaning of classrooms on a daily basis and of high traffic areas (bathrooms/ handrails etc). We also took the opportunity to ‘fog’ each of our classrooms, sports equipment, play equipment and all other teaching facilities last Friday. Our attention to cleaning College facilities will continue regularly to ensure the ongoing health and safety of our students and staff. Further and for the remainder of Term 2, our Junior School students have been allocated separate eating areas, we are not participating in excursions or swimming and decisions regarding the APS competition will be made as soon as possible.
With students in Prep, Year 1 and Years 11 and 12 returning to on campus learning next week, there will not be any provision for before/after school co-curricular activities for the next fortnight, however OSHC is still in operation and Senior School children are supervised until 6pm as normal.
Whilst we are having a graduated return to the College (Monday 11 May to 25 May), our Junior School students can be collected from 2:30pm if you wish, via Student Services. This early departure is designed to stagger the collection of students and minimize the number of parents on-site. In addition, we ask all parents to limit any social interaction while collecting their children and that you do not congregate in areas around the College. Further, each of the Cafés are not opened for parent gatherings and the seating around them is for student use only.
During the transition back to on campus learning, if you decide to keep your child/ren at home, then they will not be marked absent, rather as learning online. However, the provision for learning for those year levels will be on campus. Should you keep your child/ren home, please advise the College via studentabsences@abpat.qld.edu.au. Work will be able to be accessed via D2L and or through communication with your child’s class teacher.
From Monday 11 May, all students returning to the College will be required to wear their formal uniform or their normally scheduled uniform. As always, if your child is unwell, please ensure they do not attend the College.
The decision to return students in Prep, Year 1, Year 11 and Year 12 back to the College, is an important step towards returning to regular school routines and I will continue to update you as soon as any new information becomes available.
I hope you all have a lovely Mother’s Day on Sunday and I cannot tell you how excited we are to welcome back some of our students to the College on Monday.

Year 6 Online Learning
Year 6 students have undergone a rapid transition with their online learning. It has been quite a shift from regular classroom learning to requiring students to engage more frequently with online platforms, but our Year 6 students have shown their perseverance and problem-solving skills in this challenging time. It has been extremely rewarding to see students post an issue on Teams if they have a problem and then witness their classmates giving advice and encouragement about how to overcome these.
Despite the changes that have occurred in recent times, we are extremely impressed with the way that students have engaged with their online learning activities. We have read captivating poetry, where students have included detailed descriptions and have experimented with figurative language, such as similes, metaphors and personification. Students have also produced creative artworks which relate to our natural disasters unit and have shown their scientific understanding of the structural elements of a natural disaster through detailed annotations.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 champions and admire the independence they have shown in recent weeks. Please see some of their reflections below:
Even though this pandemic has not allowed us to see our friends and classmates, I have enjoyed online learning because I can focus better than at school and I like working at my own pace. I also enjoy our class meeting in the mornings, so we can hear and see our friends and teachers. I am missing school, my friends and my teachers, but I hope we can come back soon! Gabi Cannen
I have enjoyed technology with our stop-motion videos. I have also really enjoyed how online learning is set out. Noah McQueen
With the online learning, I have enjoyed the way we are learning with live chats and Q&A streams, but I miss seeing my friends. Blake Sweeney
Online learning has been a fun experience over the past few weeks. I enjoy online learning because of the amount of freedom you get. There is time to have a break from looking at the computer screen, and the activities are really enjoyable and fun to do. The teachers still manage to keep the activities fun even though it’s online. Finally, we get to meet our classmates and teachers every morning through rollcall even though it isn’t one-on-one, it’s still fun hearing about what others have done on their weekends. A personal favourite was my teacher asking what our favourite dessert is. I really feel the teachers have done a good job in online learning so much so that it actually feels like a classroom. Kaleb Beattie
Online learning is a blast. Whether it is the hilarious videos or the Teams chat, it is always fun. I particularly enjoyed taking part in the Teams chat and seeing how everyone is and learning all sorts of cool stuff about my peers whether it was what they did on the weekend or what their favourite animal is. The work was fun, and I never felt like it was boring or monotonous, it was always upbeat. I particularly enjoyed the brain breaks with likes of GONOODLE or playing some handball. Aran Silva
I Am Poem By Cindy Chen
I am astute as an eagle, as cautious as a cat I wonder about people’s natures, and who they really are. I hear the instructions provided, and carefully proceed to accomplish the assignment, yet – I see a whirl of faults, that I, myself happened to make. I know I’m already good enough, but still – I want to become better, better than I already am. I am astute as an eagle, as cautious as a cat.
I pretend that I’m at a mountain, climbing my way across. I feel the earth – like a single, giant rock, strong and sturdy underneath my feet. I touch the gurgling water, relishing the chilliness of the mountain streams. I worry when I get scolded, and it really makes me jittery. I cry, when my brother REALLY annoys me, and he has a knack of doing that. I am astute as an eagle, as cautious as a cat.
I understand to respect my elders, but I seldom annoy my brother. I say there isn’t right or wrong – people do things all for a motive. I dream of fantastical places, that I know I’ll never go to. I try to help with everything I can, at home, at school and for my friends I hope I’m doing the right thing… but who knows? There isn’t right or wrong! I am astute as an eagle, cautious as a cat.
Tim Collins, Dana Daniel, Kerrie Moore and Zoe Truss-Michaelis – Year 6 Teachers
