List of 3 items.

• Academic Strategy

  • Classes in the Senior School will run according to our set timetable/8-day cycle for the 2021-2022 school year.

  • Other school communications will be posted on myHSC.

  • Students must be present in the Zoom classroom and have their video on for at least the first and last 10 minutes of each period with their webcams turned on. 
  • Attendance is taken to ensure that we are continuing to engage all of our students. 
  • With a document camera outfitted in each classroom, students are able to join and engage in their classes.

  • Tutorial meetings take place every other Monday during flex time.
  • Tuesday to Friday ends with flex time to wrap up our school day as we know that it is a vital part of life at HSC. This may include but is not limited to academic support, club meetings, house meetings, physical movement, or other social opportunities.

• Communication
