Dear Parents

RU OK Day?
R U OK Day? (Thursday 10 September, 2020) is our national day of action dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” and support those struggling with life's ups and downs.

On Monday our Year 3 to 6 students participated in a virtual classroom experience focused on the importance of keeping safe in a digital environment. Our students  gained once again great learning from this virtual classroom experience and the importance of managing their own online safety. 

I had a wonderful greeting this morning from a student in one of the early grades who asked me if I was OK and if I needed anything to come and visit her class. How blessed are we to have such kind and considerate children – a credit to you as parents.

COVID-19

Reminder to all families the following directives:

  • Students showing signs of being unwell must be sent home ASAP.
  • Schools must maintain an isolation room for persons showing symptoms of COVID-19 while they await collection.
  • When the reason for their absence was illness with flu-like symptoms (as outlined by NSW Health) students are required to be free of symptoms AND present a negative COVID-19 test, which must be
  • sighted by the school, before returning to school.
  • Students are encouraged to get tested as soon as possible if they display flu-like symptoms

Any adult who enters the school buildings for more than a duration of 2 minutes should sign in. This includes:

  • A parent who needs to enter the office and wait to collect a student
  • In order to sign in on the ipad please download the CEDow quick sign in app on your phone.

As always, should you need anything clarified, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support in adhering to our COVID-19 policies and procedures.  Just a reminder to please keep your children home if they are unwell.

Uniform

Term 4 is the usual time when we start to wear summer uniform. Until the end of the term ( ie starting on Monday September 14th ) boys and girls can wear either uniform till the end of the term depending on the weather. This means that when wearing either summer or winter the boys and girls must wear that full uniform not mix and match.

At the start of Term 4, however, all students are to wear their summer uniform.

Best Wishes

Mrs Anne Duggan - Principal
