PRINCIPAL'S REPORT - Mr Mark Snow

Dear Parents and Carers,

I would like to thank our executive, teaching and support staff for their dedication, teamwork and support, for each and every student, during this complex time. My heartfelt thanks are extended to parents and carers for working cooperatively and patiently with the school.  

Schools remain open.

The health advice on schools remains unchanged.  Our Chief Medical Officers indicate that our schools should remain open for education provision at this time.

The Government and Department are encouraging you to keep your child at home from Tuesday 24 March to contribute to supporting the community response to COVID-19. The school’s doors will remain open for those students whose parents are in the essential services or who are vulnerable.

As updated expert information comes to the Department, who are in constant liaison with NSW Health, we will keep you informed of any impact on school operations.

Supporting continuity of learning for all students

Our staff have been working hard to develop a suite of learning resources and options for students to undertake from home. The Department has developed and will continue to develop resources and offer professional learning to help teachers with this task.

Whether your child is at school or at home, the aim is for all students to access the consistent learning content provided by our school. This may mean sending work home, either with physical materials or by email or by accessing them on the web page and SkoolBag App.  The teachers are currently developing the google classroom option for delivery of lessons.

This week’s learning modules can be accessed on the website at https://cooerwull-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/learning-from-home.html or a hard copy can be collected from the school.

Support for students at home.

I encourage you to access the learning from home resource which provides practical advice to parents and carers on how to best create and support a productive learning environment in the home.  Link: https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/curriculum/learning-from-home/advice-to-parents-and-carers

Kind regards,

Scholastic Book Fair   

Thank you so much for your support during our recent Scholastic Book Fair. We sold over $8000 worth of books which is a fantastic result. We receive a good commission for the sale of so many books which we will use to purchase books and resources for both libraries. We really appreciate your continued support of the Book Fair.
