Update

I have distributed another email to all families with an update on a few important items for the start of Term 4. Parents please ensure that you see that email.  Looking forward to having students back at school in school in Term 4.

Term 4 Return Dates

Week 1 ( 5-9 Oct)   - Learning from Home continues for all students

Week 2 (12 Oct)     - Foundation, Level 1 and Level 2 students return to school

Week 4 (26 Oct)     - Level 3-6 students return to school (to be confirmed by State Gov)

Please note:  

• children of essential workers and those deemed vulnerable are able to attend school but must book with the school and provide working permits.
• OSHClub Vacation Care Program is running at our school and is also available to those families of essential workers with a working permit. Please book in the normal way.
• Also, please be prepared for staggered start and finish times once all students return to school. This is aimed at reducing congestion of people in and around the school.

Departing families

If any families are aware that they will be departing the school in 2021 we would greatly appreciate being advised ASAP. As always we have had plenty of enquiries from people wanting to enrol at our school. Right now we are at maximum enrolments so we can only accommodate new families if there are others leaving. Thanks.

Wishing everyone a wonderfully relaxed school holidays. I strongly encourage less screen time for all students and more exercise and fresh air. Enjoy.
