1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: Nation tend to be jonesy no matter the pub test. Today,

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: senior school students working from home once a week. Does

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: this pass the pub test?

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 3: My number number of schools are experimenting with different times

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: for kids. But the Chevalier College in the Southern Highlands

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: is proposing students in years ten, eleven and twelve don't

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 3: go to school on Monday. That will give them time

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: to consolidate. They're invited to learn from home, as they say,

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: to set students up for success in the modern world

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: and consolidate learning. I do know from when my kids

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: are in their final years at school there's a lot

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: on their plate and you feel you can't get on

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: top of it without sacrificing sleep late at night. This

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: is a way maybe to release some of that pressure

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: for kids and say on Monday you can spend a

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: day doing your work.

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: I remember my final years at school.

19
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: Where were they spent goof of central you that's because

20
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: you didn't do final years at school, and that's fair

21
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: enough too. But there's a lot of pressure on kids

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: and maybe having a day to work from home would

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: relieve some of that. So what do you think of this,

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Senior school students working from home once a week. Does

25
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: this pass the pub test?

26
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 4: My kids go to chev One will be in U

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: nine and one will be in U.

28
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 5: Ten next year, so it affects one of them. I

29
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 5: think it's okay.

30
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 4: Now school tried it and the school failed.

31
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 6: They had a reduced completion of traubjecks.

32
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: From all the students over the twelve month period, so

33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: they went back to five days.

34
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 6: Yes, I think it does because I'm a parent with

35
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 6: teenage children. One I'm going into year twelve next year

36
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 6: and one in year eleven, and they would love to

37
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 6: have a Monday off to be able to study to

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 6: do that, and I think it takes a lot of

39
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 6: the stress off them as well to be in their

40
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 6: own environment at home.

41
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: No, my daughter actually goes to Chevalier School. Now they're

42
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: going to where my daughter's going to year twelve, keep

43
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: her at home one day a week, so if she's

44
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: got other things on the mind, there's going to be

45
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: no structure and its orbitent fees and all the time

46
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: she's put in straight out the window. Good on your shev.

47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Yes it does.

48
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: I went to school in the seventies and we had

49
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: a system called the June scheme, which was a four

50
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: day week on a six day cycle and it was

51
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: spanned thick.

52
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 6: My two daughters went to high school in Maitland and

53
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 6: I used to get every Wednesday off and talk about you.

54
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a deputy principal in a high school and

55
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 5: we currently do it. Oh yeah, our you tall students

56
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 5: work one day a fortnight from home and they're set

57
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 5: work and it works beautifully. They work on major works,

58
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 5: they work on projects. It's been amazing.

59
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: I'd like to study on Mondays.

60
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: It might have helped you see. Do you think anything

61
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: that's goof off is goof of? Actually I'm the.

62
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: King of goof of. I know I make a living.

63
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what goof off is.

64
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
