Senior Phase Online Learning

Home > Senior Phase Online Learning

Welcome to this online learning portal where you will have access to tasks for each subject that you have chosen for your next level of study.

 

You will work on relevant tasks and activities for each of these subjects during May 2020. Most subjects will set you one task per week, but some may set a longer term project.

 

More details are included in the full Senior Phase Online Learning Procedure.

 

In summary, current S4 and S5 pupils will start on their next level of learning by selecting the subjects and levels on this page which will transfer them to the subject’s pupil SharePoint page. The link will transfer you directly to the task you need to complete during May 2020.

Rationale

 

To ensure continuity of engagement for current S4 and S5 pupils by embedding key core skills and developing skills required for the next stage in learning.

 

Aim

 

To ensure that current S4 and S5 pupils experience project-based and deeper learning activities relating to their next course of study during May, and then embark on their new timetable in June.
