We were initially offering both in-person and phone interviews. However, to keep all members of our community safe, we have decided to change all interviews to phone call only. In view of the increasing number of daily COVID cases within the wider community, we made this decision at our Staff Meeting on Tuesday.
If you booked an in-person interview, your interview time will remain the same. You should have received an email notifying you of the change. The phone number you will be called on is the number you provided when making your booking. All our teachers are looking forward to being able to discuss your child's progress with you.
COVID-SAFE MEASURES
With the easing of restrictions, there are some slight changes to how we operate.
Things that have NOT changed:
· Wear masks
· Maintain 1.5m distance
· Drop-off and pick-up children at the gate
· Keep children home, if unwell
ð Get a PCR test, if exhibiting any symptoms, even very mild ones
· Encourage your child(ren) to wear masks (if in Years 3-6)
Things that have changed:
If you or a member of your household tests positive for COVID, your child now only needs to be in quarantine for 7 days. (Previously this was 14 days, if you could not quarantine separately.)
Consult the SA Health website for more details:
NOTE: If your child tests positive for COVID, please notify the Front Office, as soon as you can. If your child is a community contact or a household contact, please also notify us ASAP.
PHOTO PERMISSIONS
Every fortnight, we publish our newsletter and it is always lovely to see the photos of our students: receiving awards, doing their learning, engaged with extra-curricular activities. Unfortunately, you will notice that some of the children’s photos have their faces obscured. These are the children for whom we have not yet received photo permissions. If this applies to your child/ren, can you please ensure that you return your permissions form as soon as you possibly can? This form was sent out to all families via Skoolbag and included at least 10 different ‘permissions’, including:
· Photo permissions
· Access to our PCW (Nettie)
· Permission to go on short local walking excursions.
Your support in addressing this as soon as you possibly can is greatly appreciated.
COLOUR RUN
Don’t forget to try and do some fundraising for our school by getting sponsorship for the Colour Run!
The Colour Run will take place on the last day of this term and all children can participate, regardless of whether they have been able to raise any funds. After lunch, every class will have a turn doing the colour run and obstacle course on the oval.
Children should wear a white T-shirt. Parents should bring towels for the journey home!
