07.01.2022 AUNTY ISABEL REID HAS BEEN NAMED THE 2021 NSW SENIOR AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR!!! Born in 1932, Isabel Reid is the oldest living survivor of the Stolen Generation children who were forcibly removed from their families because they were Aboriginal. Isabel, her sister Betty and brother Jack were taken on the way home from school. Their parents had no idea what had happened to them. Isabel and Betty were sent to the Cootamundra Domestic Training Home, becoming domestic servant...s with their wages paid to the NSW Government. As an Elder of the Wiradjuri people, Isabel has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the Stolen Generation to help prevent it from happening again. In 2013, she was made an inaugural director of the Coota Girls Aboriginal Corporation, and in 2016, she was appointed as an inaugural member and Chairperson of the Stolen Generations Advisory Committee. Her strong leadership was instrumental to the NSW Government offering a $74 million reparation package to those forcibly removed under the Aborigines Protection Act 1909-1969. A natural leader and outstanding public speaker, 88 year old Isabel is respected and loved by all. CONGRATULATIONS AUNTY ISABEL See more
07.01.2022 Dear parents and carers, We have received some new guidelines from the Department of Education in regards to COVID-19. I have attached the Advice for families for you to read. Essentially, the advice regarding attendance at school is the same. Students should be at school unless:... They have a medical certificate which states that they are unable to return to school due to an ongoing medical condition and the expected timeframe. They are currently unwell or are isolating while awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test. It is extremely important that parents and carers not send their children to school if they are unwell, even if they have the mildest flu-like symptoms. We will make arrangements for those students to be sent home. Staff and students who are unwell with even mild symptoms will not be permitted to return to school until the school has been provided a copy of the negative COVID-19 test result and their symptoms have gone. We understand that this can be difficult to manage in our households, however, we appreciate your support as we implement these updated guidelines. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the front office.
