Deputy Principal's News
Dear Parents and Carers,
The school year has truly commenced. We have had ‘Meet the Teacher’ and this week the students took part in Week B Specialist Activities. For some classes this week was their first Performing Arts or Italian lesson for the year. Our students in Foundation can look forward to participating in these classes as soon as they commence full time, commencing Week 6A - Monday 28th February - Friday 4th March.
Level Newsletters
Each of the Collaborative Communities have now prepared a level newsletter, providing an overview of what will be taught, timetables and school events. These newsletters will be available via the St James Parent Portal Friday afternoon.

COVID-19 Safety at School
At St James we have put a number of strategies in place to reduce the risk of transmission. No one strategy is 100% effective.
Here are just some of the ways we are doing to keep our Students, School community and Staff safe and well.
In light of current restrictions and inline with our School COVID Safety we ask that you respect and follow the following guidelines.

Social Distancing
Thank you to all parents and carers who are helping the community to stay safe and healthy by keeping 1.5m apart at drop-off and pick-up times.
Although physical distancing will not apply to students in class, it does still apply to staff and parents. Therefore we ask that you respect our requests to minimise contact and continue with social distancing during drop off and pick ups, adults will also need to adhere to wearing masks when in public places including drop off and pick up.
