Our world has altered. The pause button was pushed on so many aspects of our lives and we were forced to re-think and re-imagine. The choices we made and the steps we take next will certainly reveal us – as individuals, as an organisation and as a community.
From the Principal David Shepherd
From those very early days when decisions were made daily, hourly, to guarantee the health and safety of all within our community to the successful rollout and delivery of our online learning program for students from Prep to Year 12, students, their families and the entire Clarendon team have collaborated, problem-solved and adapted. We saw our values – the behaviours and attitudes which underpin all that we do and are embedded in every endeavour we undertake – in action. Our commitment to learning, effort and progress; our responsibility to ourselves, each other and our communities; our focus on our social, emotional and
physical wellbeing were revealed despite the challenges of COVID-19. We should all be immensely proud of who we are and what we’ve achieved. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically changed how we live, learn and interact – how we function as a community. Clarendon’s agility to respond to the unfolding crisis was evident in the speed with which our team operationalised new learning platforms, adapted the intended curriculum for online learning appropriate for the age and needs of our diverse learners and provided a quality educational program to provide some sense of stability in unstable times.
