Thank you for your support and understanding as we manage the unprecedented events relating to the impact of COVID-19. We have received numerous messages of support from our community and this means a great deal to our team.  Our teachers and support staff continue to do excellent work providing a calm, stable learning environment for our students.

From Tuesday 24 March, Queensland state school parents and caregivers have been offered a choice as to how their children receive their learning either at home or at school.

If you choose to keep your children at home, learning materials are now available on the Department of Education’s new learning at home website: learning@home .This website has downloadable learning materials, tips for parents and links to other well-regarded, free education websites that parents and caregivers and their children can use.

If you choose to keep your child at home, you must ensure they stay at home and that they continue their learning using the material and websites that you can access online. Teachers are currently collating additional resources and communication tools that we may use in the future and also have a full teaching workload. To help us manage staff wellbeing, in this current situation, I request that you do not contact teachers individually, seeking home tasks, but refer to the sites listed above.   

Student Attendance

As is always the case, I ask parents and caregivers to let our school know if your child will not be attending school, for how long and the reason why. Providing us with a tentative return date e.g. end of the term, which can be changed later, will ensure your student’s absence is marked correctly.

Parent/Teacher Interviews

At this point, face-to-face parent/teacher interviews have been cancelled. We are currently investigating alternative means of communicating student progress.
