Home schooling? Here's some help!

Home schooling has started again and balancing work and kids learning at home can be tricky. There are plenty of resources out there to help. In addition to study, it's important to stay active and keep your kids socially engaged with friends and the community. Here's what Council is doing to help as well as some other resources that might come in handy both now and into the future.

What is Council doing?

• The staff at DRLC are live streaming fitness classes everyday through Facebook. You can join for free just by following them on Facebook here. The classes are live for kids at 11:30am each day (Mon-Fri), but if that doesn't suit your schedule, you can watch them anytime as they're archived on their page.
• Pop-up pedal parks are still in place at Clovelly and Chifley, so head there for an after-school exercise session. Just be sure to social distance and avoid crowds.
• We're keeping the lights on at many of our outdoor sporting fields so you can fit in some late night exercise and skip the crowds.
• Don't forget to check out our What's On calendar - it lists events for all ages that are taking place online.

Other resources

• Are you a library member? Our libraries have so many useful resources you can use to help your kids with school. This link will direct you to the coding, reading and learning resources on offer.
• Have a HSC student in the house or a highschool student that needs help with a particular subject? This link has amazing resources that are free if you're a library member, including feedback on essays as well as practice quizzes from Studiosity. All you need is your library number to log in.
• Looking for a bit of educational fun? This link will direct you to The Ultimate STEM Guide for Kids, while using this link you can log into National Geographic for kids with your library number.
• If your kids are finishing all the work given to them by their school and you need some more resources, this link from Australian Curriculum Lessons could help.
• Maths can be complex - if your child is struggling with something, Mr Woo's YouTube channel might be just what you need to help clarify.  Mr Woo explains things clearly and simply.
• When all else fails and you (and the kids) need a little chill out time, ABC Kids has some great programs - keep track of what's on here.
