01.01.2022 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.
