19.01.2022 This week our students will be celebrating their learning with our Learning Journey Interviews. An important message was emailed out to our parents today that addresses our COVID safe processes that are in place for these interviews. Please take a couple of minutes to peruse this information. Our learning Journey interviews differ from the Parent/Teacher interviews conducted in Term 1 as your children will be conducting the interview with you. In order to enable social dist...ancing, we have allocated each year level two interview days. Monday Years 2, 3, 5 and Prep Tuesday Years 1, 4, 6 Wednesday Years 2, 4, 6 and Prep Thursday Years 1, 3, 5 All parents entering the school will need to register in and out of the school at their allocated gate. Parents from Prep Year 3 are asked to use the Atkinson Street gate to sign in and parents from Years 4 6 are asked to use our Sydney Street gate entrance. Please be aware that you cannot congregate at all inside or outside the school. If you are feeling unwell or present with any flu like symptoms, please do not attend, instead email your child's teacher to reschedule. We remind parents that you must be on time for your interview. Our PTO portal closes on Sunday the 6th of September at 5.00pm. Thank you for continuing to work together with us to keep our community safe.
