From the Deputy Principal
Parent/Teacher Interviews Date Claimer
A reminder that our Parent Teacher interviews will be held in week 2 of term 2 – 29 April between 3.15 p.m. – 4.30 p.m. and on the 30 April between 2.00 p.m. – 8.00 p.m.
N.B. No interviews can be booked at present.
Uniform
As our days are becoming a little cooler, it is a good time to order your child’s school jumper and track pants. As we are a ‘uniform school’ all students will need these items.
COVID -19 Important Information
Please continue to pay extra attention to health and hygiene measures at home with your children, particularly the use of soap and if soap is not available, hand sanitiser. You can be assured we are reinforcing this message at school.
We are taking precautions that include postponing our Harmony Day Parade and cancelling our assemblies, as both these situations involve our entire school community being in the one indoor area. School photographs will still go ahead on Monday the 23rd of March, as children will be grouped in classes.
Our teachers have been working with Mr Fenton, our STEAM coach, to prepare resources to ensure student learning continues, should our school be impacted by the virus. This is only a precaution and teachers will be continuing to teach normally at the present time.
For now, if your child develops flu-like symptoms, please:
- keep your child at home;
- avoid close contact with others such as touching, kissing or hugging, or any mass gatherings, especially those involving other children;
- contact 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) immediately or your family doctor
- seek medical advice if your child has other underlying medical conditions; and
- call ahead to the medical centre or doctor’s surgery, before presenting in person, advising of your child’s symptoms and the closure of the school.

Continuity of teaching and learning and business operations
As the COVID-19 issue continues to evolve, we will continue to prepare contingency planning for ongoing teaching and learning and for central and regional office business continuity. The department has numerous online materials and resources, along with virtual classroom capability to support sustained curriculum delivery.
Information about the available options for students to work from home is outlined in Continuity of Learning Online and Offsite (PDF, 184KB) .
