Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Survey has been extended to 3 September 2021
A random sample of parents have been emailed a link for the 2021 Parent Opinion Survey. We have just been notified that the survey closing date has been extended to 3 September. At this stage we have only had a small percentage complete it. Can you please check your emails (and junk) to see if you have received an email.
We understand that you have a lot to manage at the moment due to COVID lockdowns but your opinions are extremely important and we appreciate your time in completing the survey to provide your views. For this survey to be effective we need as many parents/carers to participate.
Student Absences - during remote learning
If your child is absent or late due to illness or for any other reason, parents/guardians are able to choose one of the following options to inform the school:
- Mark the absence on Compass
- Send an email to the school:- fairhills.hs@education.vic.gov.au
- Call 9758 5022 to leave a message on the absence hotline. This is operational 24hrs a day, 7 days a week for your convenience.
Please be aware that during lockdowns, students will only be marked present if they log into Webex sessions on time, use their first name and last name and turn on the camera when instructed. If your child feels they have been incorrectly marked absent, please ask them to email their teacher.
Masks
When we return to onsite learning, please ensure all students 12 years and over (unless there is a medical exemption) comply with the mask law. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/face-masks
- The school has a limited supply of masks that can be handed out to students.
- Can we ask that students pack an emergency mask in case their mask breaks during the day.
- The General Office will keep a list of students who require a mask.
