While some COVID restrictions have been lifted, the following operational matters are important for you to note:

1. Student Drop-Off and Collection routines, instigated last year, will remain in place to ensure that we comply with the COVID Safety Plan. Communication through the SeeSaw App is always encouraged, and appointments can be made with teachers if there are important things to discuss. Due to the staggered start for Kinder students this week only, Kinder parents will be able to enter the classroom with their children, provided they remain for a maximum of 15 minutes.
2. The Education Department is continuing its advice that no food is prepared in homes and then bought to school for sharing with class members e.g. birthday cakes / cupcakes etc.
3. School Assemblies will continue to run without parents present for Term 1 due to the need for physical distancing and the number of adults our Hall can accommodate. Hopefully, this will change later in the year.
4. The school Athletic Carnival will be held on Thursday March 4th. We are currently determining the possibility of parents being present with strict social distancing in place. There will be more information on this in coming weeks.
5. Grade 3-6 Swimming program starts next week, however does not allow parents to be present.
6. And a final reminder, if your children are showing any signs of sickness please keep them at home until they have fully recovered.

Thank you for your support in these matters.
