Broken Hill North Public School

School Bulletin No. 34 2020

From the Principal

Our Kindergarten Orientation program kicks off this Thursday with our 2021 little Northies coming in for an hour from 11.30am. It has had to be modified this year in adherence to the department’s guidelines. Nevertheless, it will be fantastic to meet and greet our next generation and get to know them a little better prior to their start in 2021.

 

This week’s plan re the Cooler Classrooms Project is for all the painting and tidying up to be concluded. There will be minimal impact on our kids in classrooms as we’ve planned the work to take place while classes are in the library. Fingers crossed!

 

It is that time of the year where I’m spending time and focus on planning for 2021 to ensure a smooth start. In respect to planning for the future if any families’ circumstances are going to change for 2021 and you know your child/ren won’t be attending Paradise next year could you please let us know asap so we can make that consideration for next year’s class placements. Thank you.

 

COVID-19 Guidelines for parents & carers

Unfortunately, the advice remains and the expectation is that parents will drop the children off and go in the mornings and remain outside the school, maintaining social distancing, in the afternoons.

 

Parents/Carers are permitted to visit the school for the following purposes only:

  • essential parent and carer meetings with teachers and/or school executives to discuss disciplinary or welfare matters where a virtual meeting solution is not available
  • parents and carers who attend a school administration building or another defined location for the purpose of picking up their child if they are unwell or where they have been asked to arrange for a COVID-19 test after their child has displayed flu-like symptoms while at school

Note that all adults visiting a school must comply with the department’s COVID-safe requirements including personal hygiene, infection control and physical distancing guidelines. All visitors must sign the external visitors form each time they visit the school regardless of the frequency and duration of the visit.
