20.01.2022 As you are aware, South Australia will be going into lockdown from midnight tonight. OLV Preschool and School will be shut for 6 days except for children of essential workers. The definition of essential workers is currently being clarified. Reception Year 6 students will have with them when they leave today a Continuity of Learning Plan (work for the next 6 days) Year 2 6 will also bring home their laptops.... My aim is to keep the children’s well-being as a priority. I will be communicating this with the R-6 students before they leave today. I will keep you informed as I become aware of information. Take care & keep calm! Frank DeTullio
