When the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to close in 2020, the staff at Doveton College in Melbourne picked up the phone.
“Our staff made over 19,000 phone calls during the second lockdown,” says the school’s principal Debra Gibson. “We were checking that families were doing okay and coping – it was about more than just keeping kids learning.”
