MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For many students, lockdown 6.0 has been the toughest yet.

As the leading private school Melbourne wide, Haileybury has a wide range of support structures available to assist students and families, including access to excellent psychologists and Pastoral Care teams. For the senior school students, the Heads of House are their first point of call.
While navigating the pandemic has been a challenge for the entire school community, Haileybury's experienced psychologists have been there every step of the way to offer support. In addition to seeing students for counselling and support sessions via Zoom, the school's psychologists have been able to present wellbeing information to the whole school community online, including webinars for parents and carers.

Haileybury says they have been proactively supporting all initiatives to get students back to on-campus learning as soon as possible. In the meantime, the best private school Melbourne wide explains their teaching staff have remained focused on keeping students motivated and delivering the highest quality virtual classroom program.
Rather than reducing education delivery, Haileybury has re-purposed every aspect of the school day into a virtual form explaining their programs have been designed to keep students engaged, focused and understanding that their investment in time and effort while learning in the virtual space, will pay off. The outstanding results of the most recent parent survey on children's learning experiences are testament to both the School and the teachers' commitment to student education.
