13.01.2022 It’s been a long, awfully quiet journey, waiting for answers and perhaps some common sense from our political leaders. But Dr Evans refuses to give up - here is... her 3rd letter - Sent to your office yesterday Annastacia Palaszczuk MP LETTER NO. 3 21 August The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP We are entering the third week of hard border closures between Queensland and NSW. Boarders and their families are gnawed by anxiety, wondering what happens next. This is my third letter to you. I write seeking direction about our NSW boarding students and their families. Specifically, parents, students and schools need to know what will happen at the end of Term 3 and what a return to school in Term 4 will look like if quarantine is mandatory. These are decisions that require government direction and advice. Since border closures are about health, I also bring to your awareness a looming health issue that is not being discussed: mental health. The uneasiness and fear engendered through family dislocation, without a finish line in sight, is growing. The question that hovers: when will we see you again? It is a difficult question to answer. In less than four weeks, parents will leave their isolated properties and small country towns to drive to the Queensland/New South Wales Border. Two weeks after that, they will repeat the same journey. The questions that arise are: 1. How will the end of Term Three ‘handover’ of students occur? Will their children walk a 500 m path dragging their wheeled suitcases across the divided line to be reunited? 2. Schools wonder whether their staff will forgo their holidays to supervise the NSW students who can’t return home, if they want to guarantee access to face-to-face learning in Term 4. Preparations to do so need to occur now. 3. The crucial questions are what will happen at the beginning of Term Four when parents bring their sons and daughters back to the Queensland/NSW Border to commence Term 4, so that their learning can continue and so that Year 12s can rightfully complete their final ATAR preparations? Will these students need to quarantine? Where? At whose expense? Who will be responsible for the care of a 12-year-old girl alone in a room for two weeks? Schools do not have spare rooms, let alone on mass single en-suited rooms, nor spare staff to oversee such a process. They do not operate with motel or hotel facilities, nor do they have designated security staff to oversee the rigor of a quarantine process. Again, I seek reasonableness in relation to border exemptions for boarder students and their parents. I have no doubt that families will complete statutory declarations if required, COVID-19 testing as mandated, and any other processes that give evidence of the limitations of their movements within NSW about their time spent in semi-isolation on their properties, or their restricted interactions in their home towns. These are unanswered questions, beyond the jurisdiction of schools or individuals to answer. Thank you for responding to these concerns and thus attending to a group of people who have a desperate need for direction: people who are anxious, fearful and, somewhat ironically, are feeling more isolated than ever before. Yours sincerely Dr Linda Evans |Principal Fairholme College

11.01.2022 As the sun sets on boarder properties, the angst around COVID restrictions and travel for our NSW families continues to grow. Dr Linda Evans has today been in c...ontact with office of Qld Premier, the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk. Her letter here: Dear Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, With border restrictions in place to maintain a COVID free Queensland, I write to share the difficulty that is facing hundreds of students within Boarding Schools across Queensland. Herein, is a forgotten group of young people whose education has already been interrupted disproportionately when compared to their peers. I write on behalf of our New South Wales boarding students and their families, lest they become invisible at such a tumultuous time. At present, Boarding Schools across Queensland have students in their care who simply cannot go home and whose parents cannot visit, under any circumstances. Some of these children are aged twelve, some are unwell, most are anxious, and all are wanting to continue to access face-to-face learning like their peers across the state. It’s a distressing dichotomy. Their parents are grieving their own inability to visit, under any conditions, the sort of conditions that would rightfully elicit a parent visit: significant medical operations, birthdays, illness, grief and, in a year when our Year 12s have had very little to mark their imminent graduation end of term events. These parents are predominantly off the land, living in places where self-isolation is a reality, not an imposition. Others live in small rural towns untouched directly by COVID-19. They are the producers of our food, people who have endured years of drought themselves, and only just spotted green on the metaphoric horizon for the first time in a decade. Now they face a new form of hardship - isolation from their children and the fear of a border restriction marathon that has no finish line. Should they leave their COVID- free property in remote or regional NSW, or venture from their small country town to collect their child from school then they face two weeks of government-approved self-isolation at their cost, before they can even sign them out. School holidays provide a new unchartered dilemma too. Even with a hand-over at the border gates at end of term, so they can take their son or daughter home for the holidays, they face another bout of self-isolation for themselves and their child upon return for Term 4, and at their cost. Alternatively, their children will need to spend their holidays at school, while peers all over Australia head home or away. These make for impossible choices for parents who choose boarding schools because there is no other choice or choices are so limited but who are active and engaged parents, despite the tyranny of distance. These are parents who will jump in the car at a moment’s notice and drive hundreds of kilometres, often at night - because their child needs them. They can’t do that now, not once, not for the most valid reasons one can conjure and this is simply not a tenable situation. As a principal, a parent, a teacher, and a keen observer of parent/child relationships I know how important it is for parents and their children to be able to see one another especially the young ones but not just them. There is a deep need for that connection and to deny that places a whole group of children and their families at risk; risk in relation to mental health and general wellbeing. I write seeking some appropriate consideration where exemptions are sought to allow for their crossing from New South Wales into Queensland and vice versa. I’m not asking for haphazard daily visits, I am just asking that real consideration be given to the validity of their requests. I’m asking for a farmer from a property or town in rural New South Wales, to be able to cross the border when their daughter really needs to see them or to know that it is a possibility to do so. I’m just asking, on their behalf, for consideration in the application of exemption guidelines to preserve their health and wellbeing, along with that of our fellow Queenslanders.

05.01.2022 ONE IN... ALL IN We all stand together at Fairholme. Initially, we were excited to see the news today of the NSW bubble being extended to include new postcodes.... Unfortunately, it has meant that only a few of our families across the border can now have access to their children boarding in Queensland. Around 30 of our fellow Fairholme sisters are still caught in your COVID bubble, Premier - and since we are all in this together, we would really prefer if you're going to let some of us cross borders... please consider all of us. Our Principal continues to advocate for us, and since we've not received a reply to her last letter.... she's written you another one, on behalf of all of us at Fairholme. Please take the time to read, and consider it. From the Fairholme Boarders. To the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP I wrote over a week ago, in relation to NSW families with children boarding in Queensland; seeking reasonableness in the application of border exemptions. The announcement this morning to extend the NSW bubble to include the postcodes of Croppa Creek, North Star, Deepwater and Emmaville is applauded and gives some hope. However, there are still so many parents of the four hundred and ninety-one students (some as young as eleven and many without relatives in Queensland) who remain locked out from visiting their children even for the most valid of reasons. The burning question being asked over and over, and one laden with poignancy is when can I see my child again? Parents rightly ask - when can I travel from our property, hours and hours away from Sydney, and kilometres away from our nearest town, to take our daughter or son to a medical appointment, share a meal, or simply, to drive them from school to home and back again? When can I travel from our small rural town of residence where there hasn’t been a case of COVID-19 in months, if ever; a place where physical distancing happens naturally because the population is too small for it to be otherwise, to see my son or daughter? An added dilemma is that school holidays are just one month away, thus, a very practical question froths: can they return to school for Term Four after spending two weeks at home, without needing to self-isolate? Or, do they have to leave their covid-free homes and self-isolate on re-entry to Queensland at their own expense? Can these parents’ Year 12 daughter or son have the same opportunity as his or her peers to spend time at home in the September holidays, and return to school, on time, for final preparation prior to their external exams? Like all Queenslanders, I await, with great anticipation, the announcements at the end of this month in relation to the existing border closure between Queensland and NSW. You would appreciate that for those families who choose schools in Queensland because of proximity and accessibility, there is a growing anxiety about their inability to see their children. Students feel it too those whose homes are in NSW who find themselves on the brink of the bubble; these students are anxious, scared and uncertain. So too are their parents. It’s a concerning health issue. We do respect the need to observe health protocols in relation to COVID-19. Our NSW boarding families also seek reasonableness in relation to crossing the Queensland NSW border, not for monetary gain, not for business profit, but simply to do what any other parent does have time with their child/ren. Leaving their own isolated or semi-isolated places of residence, they don’t want exemptions so that they can dine in pubs, or to play football, or to do a fitness session at a gym. These are parents who just want to see their sons and daughters, or, at the very least, the ability to pick them up from or drop them off at Boarding School. Yet again, the voices of all of our boarding families deserve to be heard, students’ right to face-to-face learning needs to be acknowledged, and the ability of parents to see their child in person: paramount. Considered exemptions in border crossings and self-isolation processes are appropriate and, in the interests of emotional health and well-being: vital. How tragic it would be to create a different, significant and unanticipated health issue, in response to COVID-19 control. Mental health matters. Reasonableness matters. Families matter.

04.01.2022 WE STAND TOGETHER | 'Boarding Schools have never been asked to discriminate before on the basis of "state of origin" now they are. When our Premier states th...at ‘hospitals are for our people [Queenslanders]’ there is a clear statement about who matters and who doesn’t. Not surprisingly, we find ourselves with boarding students who are trapped in Queensland and parents who are locked out from entry. There are obvious difficulties for families in such a situation, none greater than the anxiety caused through separation, without an indication of a finish line.' Today the Principals of St Saviour’s College, Toowoomba, St Ursula's College, Toowoomba, Concordia Lutheran College (Official), Downlands College (official), The Glennie School, Toowoomba Grammar School, Fairholme College, SCOTS PGC College, and Toowoomba Anglican School collectively wrote to Deb Frecklington MP, David Janetzki MP, Trevor Watts and Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio, seeking their support in the calls for reasonableness in relation to border exemptions for NSW families. It followed a letter to the Chief Health Officer, Dr Jeannette Young, asking her to give better consideration to their boarding families from across the border. #nobordersforboarders #principalsunite
