Welcome to Mr. Jones Social Studies 10FÂ SBDHS Page
Learning Made Fun
You’re about to embark on a journey of discovery, where you’ll learn new skills and challenge yourself every single day. Take a look at all the relevant details about my class and if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with me and get in touch. These times of uncertainty with COVID-19 are difficult for us all but together as as a team, we can help you stay focused and achieve your goals. Everything will be back to normal before you know it :)
​
If you have any questions please feel free to connect with me at:
​
OR
​
I will respond as soon as I can to answer your questions.
​
In the sections below, you will find a day by day break down of what each class will look like so that it is easy to follow along. Details about submission of work will also be included with each piece as there will be numerous ways that we will be running class and every class will not be exactly the same. Each class will state the requirement of that particular class, including assignments, work to be completed as well as PowerPoint slides to follow and most importantly, the specific times we will be live as a class, and the method in which this will be achieved (e.g. Zoom Live Video Conferencing)
Class Overview
In the information below, you will find what will be scheduled for each class moving forward. Not every class will run the same, however, you will be expected to do your part and complete as much as you can. Classes will contain aspects such as videos, live streaming Question and Answer, prerecorded videos to watch and much more. I want to try and make this as engaging for your learning as I can however, we all know this is uncharted territory for us all. If we all stick together and help each other with the learning process, the time of COVID-19 Coronavirus will be a distant memory and something that you talk about for years to come. Remember - it can only make you a stronger person :)

There is a school wide online mass scheduled for today @2PM. Class is therefore not scheduled for the usual time and you are being offered the chance to join in spirituality with the rest of the school in this time.
If you wish to work at the assigned work, you may do so in your own time outside of regular time or just work on it tomorrow
Campus ministry would like the afternoon from 2Pm and beyond be spent with the rest of the school in spirit with Fr. Phil doing a mass just for our school. I will post a link when I receive one.
