Parents at a regional Catholic college in New South Wales are welcoming a proposed change to the school week that would mean seniors spend Mondays at home.
Chevalier College, based in the southern highlands, has announced a proposal that would see students in years 10 to 12 learn and work from home on Mondays, a move the principal says would “set students up for success”.
The proposal would see students set work that would “consolidate learning” from the week before and plan for the week ahead, with participating students needing to complete a “micro-credential course” before being able to take part.
‘Learning the modern way’
The change has been praised by many of the pupils’ parents, who took to social media to congratulate Chevalier College on rethinking the school week.
