11.01.2022 Good afternoon Firstly, I would like to say welcome to term 2 and thank you for your patience and understanding with the rapid changes that we have seen occurring over the last few weeks in relation to schools and how they will operate going forward. As of tomorrow, students are able to return to school for face to face teaching and we are all looking forward to seeing the students. ... For those parents that have chosen to keep their children at home, we will be providing a hard copy work package that will be available in the undercover area on Fridays from 12pm 3pm. There will be a box to drop completed work packages into and then another box for each year level that will have the next weeks packages in please look for the folder with your childs name on it. Teachers will be available to answer emails regarding work packages and will endeavour to do so within 24 hours, we ask that you are mindful of the fact that they will be teaching all day. If your query is of an urgent nature, please contact the front office and we will do our best to assist you. If you are collecting work packages, please make sure that the undercover area is the only part of the school that you visit as the Department is recommending parents and visitors do not enter school grounds. With this in mind, the main drop off and collection point for students will be the bottom car park next to the basketball court. Staff will be available to escort the children to their classrooms and will bring them back to the car park at the end of the day, remaining with them until they are collected. If your child is unwell, it is important that they remain at home so that we can limit the spread of any illnesses.
