Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Week 8 at Lithgow Public School. As usual it has been a busy 2 weeks of learning for our students and it has been great to have spent time in the classrooms working with them.
Unfortunately the Coronavirus continues to impact on the entire community so I would like to provide you with information on how Lithgow Public School is managing this situation.
Lithgow Public School continues to follow all Department of Education advice regarding changes to school procedure to minimise the spread of Coronavirus. These include but are not limited to:
· Adopting social distancing measures
· Teaching the importance of good hygiene practices including handwashing
· Increased handwashing procedures during the school day
· Cancelling or postponing school events that involve large gatherings
· Reducing visitor access to the school
· Being mindful of student health throughout the school day
Lithgow Public School is fully operational and students should attend school wherever possible. I remind the community that current advice to schools is that only those people who are unwell should remain at home. This is the case for students and staff.
The school will continue to provide advice and updates as they are released. We thank parents and carers and the school community for your ongoing support and understanding as we continue to be flexible with respect to updated advice whilst providing the best education and support for your children.
More detailed information about the Department of Education’s procedures regarding Coronavirus can be found at:
The school continues to implement normal teaching and learning programs with adjustments where necessary to make sure that our students are receiving continuity in their education and are continuing to progress in their learning. We look forward to seeing your children fit and healthy next week.
Have a great fortnight,
Mark Davies | Principal Lithgow Public School
