Mr Szumski shared with our learners some popular and his own personal experiences of Poland during the Martial Law lockdown of the early 1980s and the steps the country took towards 1989 to peacefully adopt a more democratic approach to politics. The Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe is part of the History Advanced syllabus.
Live Streaming Trial Week at CHSMC
Live Streaming Trial Week at CHSMC We are delighted with the outcome of our 'Live Streaming Trial Week'. During this trial week most learners at Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College reunited with one or more of their teachers within a virtual classroom setting using Microsoft Teams. This successful Trial Period allowed us to ensure that all technical difficulties are resolved before our launch of the full Live Streaming programme at both CHS and SMC at the start of the third term. All staff members at CHSMC have worked tirelessly during these last few weeks to continue providing students with quality tasks to ensure that learning and then deeper learning continues to take place. We continue to focus on upskilling all our teaching staff to be able to use a wide range of online resources. New timetables have been put together for all learners and will be shared with all parents soon. The proposed e-learning programme will engage learners at all levels, including Sixth Form, in a blended and balanced approach of real time sessions as well as other tasks. Whilst we wish you all the very best during this Easter break, we look forward to sharing with you our new plans soon! Keep well and stay safe!
Autism Awareness Month
Autism Awareness Month April is Autism Awareness Month...Let’s continue our efforts to spread awareness, promote acceptance, and ignite change. A message from Ms Cynthia Rizzo and Ms Maria Ellul, CHS and SMC Inclusive Coordinators (INCO): Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. Their quality of life improves with professional assistance but also with the support of each and every one of us. The first phase is to be aware, understand and accept people with autism. Following this, one can also help with a smile and a helping hand.
