We are curious about the impact of COVID-19 during Semester 1, 2020 on our staff, students and families. The Home Learning Parent Reflections survey will assist us to document your thoughts, and look for any information that may help us in the future. We will look at the data together as a staff and community when the collection is finished and a summary made. Thank you for assisting us to reflect on a new and better "normal" and inform our future planning. Please complete the survey by clicking on the following link:
Hello, Giinagay, Hai
Welcome to the Week 4 newsletter.
NRMA - Road Safety
The school focus is on road and bike safety around the school and village. Please take the time to talk to your children about road and safety rules.
Parents are also reminded not to park in the no stopping zones around the pedestrian crossing. When dropping off or picking up children parents should park so children do not need to run across the road. Children should always access the car on the kerbside (not from the road).
Physical distancing
Physical distancing of children in schools is not required by the AHPPC guidelines.
Physical distancing requirements remain in place for adults i.e. keeping a 1.5m distance.
Schools should ensure school pick up and drop off arrangements enable parents to physically distance from one another and from staff.
Guidance for community use and visitors to the school
Non-essential adults are still not permitted on school grounds or at school events which includes next week’s school carnival and Indonesian Day celebrations.
This includes parents and carers except for face-to-face parent/teacher meetings that are essential (e.g. to discuss disciplinary or other welfare matters).
Please if you have any concerns regarding your children contact the classroom teacher via Class Dojo or the office to organise a phone catch up or update.
External Visitors to School Site Form
All visitors to the school during school hours are required to sign a form at the office. This is a NSW Department of Education form and it is required for contact tracing, if required. This form acts as evidence that visitors are aware of and will abide by their obligations to comply with the health advice of the day, including hygiene and distancing requirements.
The form lists a number of conditions to being onsite as well as an acknowledgment of the following:
- I am well and have no signs or symptoms.
- I confirm that I have not been in Victoria in the last 14 days.
- I have provided my personal contact information to the school so I can be contacted where appropriate.
- I have reviewed the most recent AHPPC Guidelines and NSW Health advice on COVI-19 and can confirm that I can comply with the requirements outlined (where relevant).
- I understand the current requirements and directions in place for hygiene and physical distancing within NSW as per NSW Public Health Orders.
- I confirm I have reviewed the safety and hygiene measures in place at the school and I agree to follow and implement these requirements.
This includes ALL parents/carers picking up or dropping off their child, dropping off lunch or a water bottle etc.
For late arrivals we ask parents to please call us to advise the reason they are late, then they can drop their child off to come straight to the office for a late note.
Thanks to everyone for keeping us all safe. Let’s keep it up.
Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.
