Welcome Back
We welcome back our students, families and staff. We hope you had an enjoyable break. All schools are looking forward to a great term and have returned to full-time on-campus learning.
All students should be learning on campus unless they are unwell or have a medical certificate to support their absence.
Remember do not send students to school if they are unwell, even if they have mild symptoms. Schools will make appropriate arrangements to return students home if they come to school unwell or become unwell at school.
All schools will be vigilant when implementing infection control, physical distancing and personal hygiene protocols to protect the health and safety of students and staff. Schools will promote the need to follow good hygiene practices like:
- regularly washing hands
- avoiding sharing drinks or food
- coughing or sneezing into your elbow, or a tissue which should be discarded immediately
- The activities that are permitted at school will be conducted in a way that is safe and appropriate in the current environment. Those activities that remain on hold will be reviewed during the term and will recommence when appropriate based on health and other relevant advice.
All students and staff who have visited Victoria must have a NSW border entry permit and are required to self-isolate for a period of 14 days.
We also request that parents do not come into the school grounds unless to collect a sick child. If your child is late please drop them at the gate on Addison Street near the COLA, (not the staff car park gate) also if your child needs to leave early please call the office 4821 2759 to advise that you are here to collect them, and meet them at the gate on Addison Street.
Face Masks
NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said teachers were welcome to don masks “to give parents and teachers comfort. We are not requiring students or teachers to wear a mask — that’s not the health advice — but if it gives parents or teachers comfort to wear a mask, that won’t be a problem.”In light of this, if your child would feel safer wearing a mask while at school, we are happy for this to happen. Please provide your child with several masks for use during the day as once they are wet they need to be replaced. Thanks for your cooperation during these uncertain times."Got It "
This term we will be introducing the "GOT IT" Program for Kindergarten to Year 2. This program is supported by NSW Health & Department of Education. Below is a a little bit of information on how the program works. Thank you to the parents that have returned their surveys back to the school. If you have received a survey and wish to be considered to participate, please return the forms to the school by Friday 31 July.
School Photographer 2020
The school photographer will be visiting the school on Wednesday 19th August. We have started to receive some envelopes back to the school for safe keeping. Please ensure that if you do not return the envelopes to the school that your child has it on the day of the photographs.
