Return to Face to Face Schooling for Years 3-10 Students

All year levels have now returned to face to face learning at school. 

All families received a CareMonkey communication on 21st May, outlining the procedures we have implemented to ensure the health and safety of all members of our College community.

The link to the information contained in the CareMonkey is provided below for you to familiarise yourself with the procedures: 

Return to Face to Face Teaching - Information for Families

Changes to Pickup Times

A reminder that in Weeks 9, 10 and 11, start times will remain the same but a staggered system, as outlined below, will be implemented for the end of the day.

• Families are asked to not enter the school grounds, however, families will be able to access the school driveway. Only under exceptional circumstances will families be able to enter the school grounds.
• Drop off time will not change due to the scope of time that already exists.  Multiple entry points into the College also allow for social distancing.
• Pick up times:

               3.00pm (Years F-2)

               3.10pm (Years 3-6)

               3.20pm (Years 7-12)

***Please note that families will only need to undertake one pickup for all their children.  For example, if you have a Year 1 and Year 6 child, you will be required to pick up your children at 3:00pm.   Likewise, if you have children in Year 3 and Year 7, you will be required to pick up your children at 3:10pm.

***Please note any students who are dismissed early and are required to go on the bus will be supervised until they are on the bus.

• More staff will be allocated to this area at drop off and pick up times

Staggered breaks (recess and lunch) times will be as follows:

• Recess
  • 10.30am-11.00am (F-6)
  • 11.00am-11.30am (7-12)
• Lunch
  • 12.30pm-1.30pm (F-6)
  • 1.30pm-2.20pm (7-12)

Return to face to face schooling and wellbeing

To assist our students to adjust to the return to face to face learning, we have prepared a visual presentation to use in our TAs to go over our new (and old) procedures and expectations.

We acknowledge that there are a number of students who are concerned about COVID-19 and want them to feel reassured that as a community, we will work together to be as safe as we can.  

Staff have been reminded to use the presentation as frequently as possible to remind students of the procedures and expectations.  A selection of slides from the presentation are shown below.  The full presentation is also attached for you to view.
