Term Update - 9 June 2020

Dear Parents/Caregivers

I am sure you were as pleased as I was to hear the Prime Minister’s announcement about moving to Alert Level 1.  This means that all students should now be returning to school – unless unwell.

For us, there will be no major changes to what we are currently doing and our school continues to be safe for all to attend, including any staff / students who are considered more vulnerable to COVID-19.

We have a good cleaning routines in place, access to hand sanitizer, people who are sick are staying at home, and we will continue to encourage good hygiene practices.

What is changing is we can now look forward to inter-school and community sport, cultural events and performances, and to welcoming all of our school community back on site for these activities.

We therefore look forward to seeing you very soon.

Yours sincerely,
Gary Yeatman
Principal
