25.01.2022 UPDATE - Return to On-Site Learning - Tuesday 6 October Dear families Due to the Premier's announcements yesterday, the return of students in regional primary schools has been brought forward to Week 1. ... So our students will return on TUESDAY 6 OCTOBER. Monday 5 October will be a pupil free day to allow school staff to prepare for a wonderful and smooth return of students the following day. Please see more detailed information in this letter - https://drive.google.com//1ve9O0GhwRRZw8V91lrG8uXA6d/view At the end of this week we head on school holidays for two weeks - and then we will be back on October 6! Given this is now so close, please don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything you think we can do to support the transition of your children back to school. Very excited for Term 4! Tim

23.01.2022 A massive thank you to all our wonderful teachers. The teachers of Gowrie Street come to school every day giving 100% to their students.

21.01.2022 RETURN TO ON-SITE LEARNING Dear families As you will have likely heard, yesterday the Premier announced that for regional schools we will return to school during Week 2 of Term 4. Yayayayay!! ... While this may be a bit longer then some of us would have liked we should keep in mind there are two more weeks of this term (today until September 18), school holidays (from 21 September to 2 October) and then one week of Term 4 at home (October 5 to 9). In many ways this will go quite quick - and please remember we are here to support every step of the way so please reach out if there is anything at all we can do to help! We are still waiting for more detailed information from the Department about when in Week 2 we will return, what exact guidelines will be in place etc. We are also working this week on our plan for Term 4 and our priorities both for the learning and wellbeing of our students. I will hopefully share a lot more information by the end of this week! Please do get in touch if you have any questions at all :) Tim
