25.01.2022 SASVI students participated in the "Living Safely with Pets Program" on Wednesday 18 November. It was a fun and educational session that focused on all facets of responsible pet ownership, in particular safety around dogs.
24.01.2022 In the lead up to International Day of People With Disability (Thursday 3 December), journalist Nas Campanella explains why we shouldn't just let the day go by without making a statement. Follow this link https://ab.co/3o7sQOy to the ABC article (which includes a 2min 38sec video) - it's worth your time.

24.01.2022 No child will be left off Santa’s list this year as Braille letters will be heading straight to the North Pole - thanks to Australia Post and Vision Australia! Children who are blind or have low vision can write to Santa in braille, post it in an Australia Post post-box and get a braille reply from the big man himself. Alongside braille replies, Santa is printing his reply letters in large print for children with low vision. Follow the link below for all the details! https://www.visionaustralia.org//braille-letters-santa-hea Image description: Santa in a chimney with a red bag over his shoulders.

21.01.2022 Dear Parent/Caregiver, The Premier today announced that schools and preschools will reopen to all students on Monday 23 November. As a result our school/preschool/children’s centre will be open and operating as normal. We will not be offering an alternative home-based learning program. While OSHC is able to operate as usual, families should check with their OSHC service whether it is operating a service on Monday.... As the Chief Public Health Officer said, just because the hard lockdown is being lifted does not mean that the risks associated with COVID-19 have passed. As a result we will minimise the number of people coming and going from our site. Wherever possible, please drop and collect your child at the gate and maintain the appropriate physical distance from other adults. More information on excursions, events and sporting activities, and use of masks will be available soon. Thank you very much for your support over the last couple of days. We look forward to having your child back at school/preschool/children’s centre on Monday. Regards, Peter Haskell See more
17.01.2022 South Australian School For Vision Impaired COVID-19 parent letter ... Dear parent/caregiver, Today the Premier announced a 6 day statewide lockdown starting at midnight tonight (Wednesday 18 November) through to midnight Tuesday 24 November. Only the children of ESSENTIAL workers and vulnerable children will be able to attend school or preschool / child care. A skeleton staff will provide supervision but not a learning program for the remainder of this week. If your child needs to attend, we will be here for them. All students have been asked to take home school laptops/devices, books and anything they need to continue their learning from home. More information on learning programs will be provided early next week, as we work our way through the new COVID-19 Directions. All South Australians are making sacrifices to ensure our community remains as safe as possible. We appreciate that this is a significant undertaking for you and your family. Your child’s teacher, our support staff and I are here to support you where we can. Regards, Peter Haskell
