23.01.2022 As your P&C, we are passionate about supporting school and community initiatives; especially when the initiative comes from one of our students. On Tuesday 26th of November, Katia from S3 Bennelong has organised a fundraising initiative to support Variety Australias Hair with Heart. The purpose of the fundraising initiative is best explained by Katia: I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lo...st their hair due to a medical condition. Ill be chopping off 35.5cm on the 26th of November at my school. Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a childs youth. By making a donation to Variety - the Childrens Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need. Thank you for helping kids in need. So for all students, on Tuesday the 26th of November, please support Katia by wearing red mufti and bring along a gold coin donation. There will also be a spider stall (ice cream soda) for $2 each. Please get involved! For all parents, you can support Katia by making an online donation on her fundraising website: https://hairwithheart.everydayhero.com//katia-s-cut-for-ca Katias goal is $700.00 and so far she has made incredible progress by raising over $550.00. Lets work together and help Katia achieve her goal (and beyond!). Its for a great cause. Please spread the message far and wide for all to be involved. Every little bit counts. Congratulations to Katia for her efforts and for raising community awareness on something that affects many children and their families.

21.01.2022 Message from Principle: Welcome Back to Term 2 Dear Parents and Caregivers,... Welcome back to term two. I have no doubt you are aware of the Premier and Education Ministers media briefing last week regarding learning in NSW Public Schools in Term 2. The Premier announced the transition back to the classroom model for Term 2. NSW Public School students will gradually transition back to school, one day per week, beginning in Week 3 (Monday 11 May). The beginning of next term sees Monday 27 April remain as a pupil-free School Development Day. Tuesday 28 April has now also been announced as an additional pupil-free School Development Day to allow for additional planning and professional learning for teachers and staff. The Remote Learning model will re-commence from Wednesday 29 April similar to the end of last term. Families who are able to keep their children home to learn remotely are asked to please do so to assist us with social distancing. Those students who are unable to learn from home are welcome to attend school. On Monday 11 May, we will move into Phase One of the managed return to school for students. In this phase, all NSW students will attend school one day per week and learn remotely 4 days per week. It is anticipated that all NSW students will increase the number of days at school before the end of the term, under the advice of NSW Health. There will be additional cleaning during the day at school and social distancing measures in place. I will work with the executive team and staff to organise and structure Denistone East Public Schools Phase One managed return for our students. I will communicate the structure as early as possible to give families enough time to make arrangements. The structure will be stage based and will allow students to be taught by their classroom teacher as much as possible. Classes will be smaller as they will be split over two days and the school overall population will be reduced to around a quarter on any given day. This term will certainly bring challenges but I am confident we can work through them together as a community. The website https://education.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/advice-for-families has been updated and may have information that interests you. Regards, Michelle Collyer Principal

21.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday, 28 January 2020 UPDATED ADVICE AHEAD OF SCHOOL RETURNING... The NSW Government has today requested that children who have visited China in the last two weeks not attend school or childcare services until 14 days have lapsed from their date of departure from China. Health Minister Brad Hazzard and Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said although the risk to children is very low, the NSW Government has taken this step as a precautionary measure. Ive been advised that its not medically necessary, but the NSW Government has acted in line with community expectations to ensure the safest possible environment for our students, Mr Hazzard said. The internationally recognised incubation period for the coronavirus is 14 days, so this is the logical timeframe to ask students to refrain from attending school. After this time, there is no risk. Advice about not attending school has already been provided to any close contacts of confirmed cases. The Commonwealth Department of Health has confirmed that all passengers disembarking from planes from China are being given comprehensive information about coronavirus in both English and Mandarin. NSW Health has been contacting passengers who were on the same planes as confirmed cases to provide appropriate advice and has processes in place to identify any close contacts of cases confirmed in Australia. Ms Mitchell said the Department of Education has issued guidance to schools and childcare services across NSW on protocols in the event of a child becoming sick. Although the risk remains very low for children, we believe it is the right thing to do to take this extra step and will continue to update the community with advice, Ms Mitchell said. There are currently four confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in NSW. All cases had travelled to Wuhan, China or had contact with a confirmed case in China. Parents with concerns can contact their local Public Health Unit on 1300 066 055 for advice or visit the dedicated NSW Health information page at: www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases//coronavirus.aspx Anyone who develops a fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath within 14 days of travel to Hubei or contact with a person with confirmed coronavirus, should immediately isolate themselves from other people, contact their GP or local emergency department or call the healthdirect helpline 1800 022 222.

The outbreak of Novel coronavirus overseas has also elevated concerns about the wellbeing of our students and their families.

02.01.2022 Dear all DEPS parents, For the safety of our kids, P & C traffic committee arranged an online petition: http://chng.it/tGmSgww7mZ... Oppose the removal of parking restrictions on Henderson Street. Please join us to sign, the safety of school children is our priority! Here’s the background of this petition: City of Ryde Council has undertaken consultation with the residents on Henderson Street regarding the proposal to make the current temporary ‘No Parking 8-9.30am 2.30-4 pm School Days’ permanent. Unfortunately as confirmed by Road Safety Officer from Council, the feedback has indicated a majority of the residents oppose this permanent change and have requested that the unrestricted parking be reinstated as it was advised the temporary conditions would run until the end of August 2020. Council will therefore be reverting the ‘No Parking 8-9.30am 2.30-4 pm School Days’ along the Henderson Street school frontage to unrestricted parking before the beginning of Term 4 on 12 October 2020.
