Week 1 – Term 4 2020

Message From The Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

COVID -19 UPDATE

In accordance with advice from NSW HealthExternal link, parents and carers are reminded NOT to send children to school if they are unwell, even if they have the mildest flu-like symptoms. NSW Health has requested that schools encourage anyone who is unwell or has even mild flu-like symptoms, to arrange to be tested through their local medical practitioner or one of the COVID-19 clinics.

School formals, dances, graduation or other social events are permitted provided they meet strict COVID-19 Safety Plan.     

School assemblies must be limited to 15 minutes with no external visitors.

Kindergarten Orientation and Year 7 Transition to high school can occur in Term 4 after 12 November. Unfortunately, adults are still not permitted onsite.

STAY HYDRATED AND SUN SAFE.

Remember to add extra water bottles to the daily bag packing routine. As it is getting hot we would encourage students to bring extra water bottles to school. Students can still fill up their water bottles in class, but a frozen one can help take the heat off from play.

We are a sun safe school and as such hats are compulsory for students to play. No hat, no play, you will be under the COLA today! Please also remember to put your child's name on all their items. This includes clothing, hats, lunchboxes and water bottles.

REMINDER ABOUT ATTENDANCE

It is so important that children are in school every day. Take a look at the following picture and see how just one day per fortnight can add up.
