DIO NEWS & SUCCESSES

Diocesan has moved to an Online Learning Model

The Diocesan School Campus has now closed for the duration of the COVID-19 lock down and, from Thursday 26 March, all Dio students will begin online learning from home.

We have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks to ensure our online learning platform is suitable for full school learning and we are confident we have a strong and robust platform in place. Regular timetables will continue. Our teachers and staff are working from home during the lock down period, and as much as possible, the school is functioning as normal - if from within a virtual environment.

Term Dates for the remainder of this term and holidays are as follows:
Thursday 26 March – Wednesday April 8 – all students using online learning platform.
Thursday 9 April - Teacher Only Day
Friday 10 April (Good Friday) - School Holidays commence
Monday 27 April (ANZAC Day) - National Holiday
Tuesday 28 April - Term 2 begins, online learning recommences.

During this difficult time our thoughts are with all of the incredible people who are working in health, emergency and essential services.  We are grateful for your efforts and wish you well over the forthcoming weeks. We hope that you keep safe and protected from harm, thank you for being there for the rest of us.  

Be kind, keep well.
