With students St Anthony's Parish Primary School scattered between their homes and school, the community collaborated to make a video together to boost spirits.
The video shows snippets of students, teachers, and parents dancing and passing a sign that reads "we're all in this together".
These videos were edited together to make a video that was shared among the school community.
Religious education co-ordinator Beth Lehmensich organised and edited the final video.
"When we started to move to partially remote learning and partially kids at school I thought it would be a good idea to do something that could connect the kids at school to the kids at home," she said.
"We asked families at home to have a sing and dance and video themselves and send it to me.
"Through some creative staff collaboration, we came up with the idea of passing something between shots to bridge the physical gap we are all now currently navigating.
"We had a couple of children make signs at school and families at home made their own ones, too."
This video was made during a point of upheaval as students, teachers and parents were getting used to remote learning.
"There were a lot of stressed out and tense people at that time, both kids and adults, " Ms Lehmensich said.
"It was a bit of fun that we recorded and cut together to represent our community."
Principal Greg Walker says the video has been well received by the school community.
"They loved it from what I can see and all the comments that I have seen," Mr Walker said.
"They appreciate all the work that we've been doing at the school and the way we're reaching out to those that are working from home and the children doing remote learning, which is new for a lot of them."
By the end of term one, only one-quarter of students at St Anthony's were still going to school.
While most staff at St Anthony's were working on campus during term one, there are plans for more staff to work at home if possible.
Mr Walker said that in this difficult time, teachers were ensuring that students have a similar learning experience regardless of if they are at home or school.
"Teachers [remaining at school] are doing more than supervising," he said.
"They are answering questions, helping with tasks and they are trying to work from the same platforms as those at home. "
Mr Walker also acknowledged the strides of parents, students and teachers at St Anthony's and beyond who were dealing with big changes to school.
"A big thank you to our parents and carers that are working with their children at home," he said.
"It really is a partnership at the moment and they are doing a fantastic job."
"The staff at St Anthony's and a lots of other schools are doing a great job planning for remote learning and delivering the curriculum in new ways so a big shout out to all of them."
