25.01.2022 Welcome Back Launch into Learning

24.01.2022 Dear families, With Tasmania’s borders re-opening this week to some states, I wanted to take this opportunity to ensure that you are up to date with where we are at with our COVID restrictions and information. While our sites remain safe, it is important that we are careful not to be complacent in facing the risks that COVID-19 still presents us with. It is vitally important that families continue to support the school in keeping their children home if they are unwell. The f...ollowing advice to families on school attendance and pre-existing health conditions is supplied by the Department of Education in consultation with the Department of Health. Attendance All students should be at school unless: they have medical advice which states that they are unable to return to school due to an ongoing medical condition and the expected timeframe they are currently unwell. Children should not be sent to school or childcare if they feel unwell with COVID-19, flu symptoms or any other symptoms of infectious diseases including: fever runny nose cough, sore/itchy throat or shortness of breath nausea vomiting Children should stay home and you should phone your GP or the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 for a referral to be tested for COVID -19 or medical clearance has been received by a doctor. Children should only be returning to school or childcare once their cold/flu like symptoms have passed. COVID-19 and Hay Fever The symptoms of hay fever are similar to that of a cold, flu and COVID-19 so it’s hard to tell them apart without testing. Students experiencing symptoms of hay fever (such as runny/blocked nose, sneezing, itchy eyes or cough), even mild symptoms, should get tested. They should stay home until they get their results. Students can return to school once they have: been tested for COVID-19 and returned a negative result; consulted their doctor to discuss a treatment plan; and received a medical certificate or letter from their doctor advising that they can attend school. If symptoms worsen through hay fever season or new symptoms develop, you should consult their doctor. Thank you for your ongoing to support in keeping our school community safe. Kind regards, Tom Spykers Principal, Bicheno Primary School

However, they can only attend if their parent has a booked ticket. The number of tickets available to the parent community have been limited to 22. There is a limit of 1 ticket only per family. After this first round and if there are still spaces available, we will readvertise on Thursday. Tickets are free. Parents (of award winners) who have already RSVP'd DO NOT need to book a ticket.
