Creating a Covid-Safe Environment at School

The most important action we can take as a school community to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19), is to ensure that any unwell staff and students remain at home, even with the mildest of symptoms.

Bookings are available on the school website: www.stbedes.catholic.edu.au

Background on All Stars:

All Stars Martial Arts Academy is a community based organisation that has been in operation across Victoria since 1991.

Since then the All Stars Martial Arts Academy has grown into one of the most well respected and sought after martial arts schools and training organisations in Victoria.

The academy’s objective is to be able to teach people through martial arts how to grow mentally, physically and spiritually.

We believe everyone should be learning a form of martial art, the principles that are learnt in our martial arts training will help students cope with stress, anxiety, violence or verbal abuse caused by others.

HEAD LICE – ONCE A WEEK TAKE A PEEK 

Families, please check your child’s hair for Head Lice each Sunday before they return to school. Please treat immediately if head lice are found. Head lice numbers would be reduced if this quick check happened every week.

HEAD INJURIES

Any child who has a knock/bump to the head will have their parents notified as a precaution. All children who are treated in sickbay or on the playground are issued with a First Aid slip; however, often these are not seen by Parent. All staff are trained in first aid but we are unable to make decisions or judgments regarding head injuries. Please seek advice from your GP if you are concerned.

STAFF MEETINGS 

Will be held each Wednesday and Thursday at 3.45pm. 

Please do not detain teachers on these days. Any conversations of a sensitive nature need to be held at an appropriate time and place.
