https://www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/105070/from-family-outings-to-telecom-shops-belgium-updates-lockdown-measures/ Definitely some useful information here regarding the situation in Belgium. Update from Monday the 6th of April.

All little things help. That is why we produced the first set of hopefully many face shields, which we delivered to a local hospital last week. Enjoy the weather, responsibly.

Singing is known to release endorphins, the feel-good brain chemical that makes you feel uplifted and happy. ... Not only that, but singing can simply take your mind off the day's troubles to boost your mood. So, if in need, join-in with an online performance.

Hope everyone has had a great day of remote teaching & learning. I am seeing and hearing about great work going on! All quiet at school this evening - and our magnolia is in full bloom. #remotelearning #remoteworking #bluesky https://t.co/brvVOB3WYY

https://www.thevillage.be/facing-lockdown-as-a-family-st-johns-school-counsellors-give-their-advice/ As our community is advised to hunker down at home, limit trips outside and practice social distancing, we are sure this new reality takes some getting used to. Aside from the concern that our community must have about the physical health of their loved ones here and abroad, we cannot neglect the mental health of our families as we are in remote-learning mode. Here are some thoughts and suggestions from our Social and Emotional Counselors on how families can face this current lockdown situation calmly, positively, and wisely.

Remote learning is going really well so far, with some hick-ups along the way, of course. Students and teachers are experiencing something totally new in these trying times and we are happy to report we received much positive feedback from all sides so far. We want all of you to stay healthy, fit and safe. Luckily, going out and getting some fresh air is still an option, so our STJ coaches offer you a "Beat the coaches" Challenge, with more to follow. A surprise will be given to any student or parent who succeeds in all of them. Video evidence required. 😉 [Also useful: http://bit.ly/Buildahomegym]

Belgium is currently in a ‘lockdown’ situation until 19 April, to limit the spread of coronavirus/Covid19. During this period of ‘lockdown’, the St John’s campus will be closed. We shall continue to operate remotely, both in terms of education and in terms of school operations. If the ‘lockdown’ is extended beyond this date, we have a plan in place so that we can lay the foundations for continued success.

Wishing everyone an enjoyable and productive 3 weeks of remote teaching & learning #WeCanDoThis #COVID19BE #KeepLearning @sjis @_TheBulletin https://t.co/7KREGtUs2h
