Lesson cancellations

When a teacher is absent, due to illness, attending training, conferences, excursions or trips, regular lessons cannot continue. Students will continue to attend the lesson which will be supervised by another teacher or an Educational Assistant. Teachers set assignments for their class so that learning can continue.

The absence of a teacher due to longer term illness is problematic, hard to predict and difficult to find immediate solutions. In such cases, we do not have a bank of supply teachers to call upon nor is it easy to find replacement teachers locally with the qualifications, experience, and approach we require. In order to manage such situations, until we can find a replacement teacher, lessons are supervised internally by  another teacher or one of our Education Assistants.
