07.01.2022 COVID-19 Update Volunteering at school Dear Parents and Carers... The Department of Education has updated their restrictions and are now allowing parent/carer volunteers required as educational support roles for activities essential to the delivery of the curriculum (such as reading groups). If you would like to go into your child/rens class to help with various groups or activities, please contact their teacher to let them know of your interest. The teacher will then let you know when they would like you in the classroom. Prior to volunteering you will have to complete a ‘Declaration for Volunteers’ for 2021. Photo ID is required (license or passport). One parent/carer volunteer will be allowed in each classroom per session. Session times are up to 40 minutes. I hope this small step towards normality will help our community continue to grow amongst these unprecedented times. Information for parents When entering our school, you will need to go to the office. scan the QR code or complete the External Visitor form. sign into our visitor kiosk and print your sticker. wear your visitor sticker somewhere readily visible. go straight to your child’s class. sanitise your hands. When departing our school, you will need to go straight to the office. sign out by scanning your sticker barcode. sanitise your hands on your way out. Remember to socially distance. contact the teacher/s to organise another time if you are sick. Corrie Stephenson Principal 8 February 2021

06.01.2022 Principals’ Day is an opportunity for celebrating the work done by all principals in our great public schools across the state. This year we’ve seen the true capacity and calibre of our principals in stepping up to the enormous challenge of leadership through bush fires, floods, ongoing drought and COVID-19. The strength of principals in bringing together communities, being the central point of certainty, support and care, has deepened the broader community’s respect for the profession.
