On-line Schooling
In light of the conflict in Ukraine, My Online Schooling would like to support young people and families who have been affected by the war. Millions of families have been displaced from their cities, towns and villages, with families separated and children's education interrupted. We would like to contribute to the support offered to Ukrainian families impacted by providing free education to young people, from Year 3 (age 7) to Year 9 (age 13). We also have spaces available in our new English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes with Lingua Connect. We have a page set up on our website with more information on the places available and the criteria for eligibility. If you know of any Ukrainian young person, not already enrolled with My Online Schooling, who would benefit from this support, please point their family in the direction of the dedicated page on our school website.
