Friendly Reminders

Merinda Park School Holiday Program

 

 

Summer Holiday Planning

We know the summer holidays are still some way off but The Cat in the Hat is heading to Frankston Arts Centre. The play was adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Britain.The Cat in The Hat interrupts this rainy afternoon with his unexpected visit to Sally and her brother's cosy home. Their outspoken and outraged pet Fish is astounded and concerned, but this cat will not be deterred. He will teach us all to make our own fun with nothing but a little imagination. 

"It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how." Along with Thing One and Thing Two, the cat will fill the theatre with mischievous humour and madcap style. Young and old alike will delight in this faithful adaptation of a classic book come to life before our very eyes.

Sick children

Just a friendly reminder that COVID is still very much active in our community. We have a number of confirmed cases and close contacts and I would like to take this opportunity to go through the steps to follow if your child is unwell.

  • If your child is showing cold, flu or COVID symptoms they must remain at home. RATs are still available and you need to test your child.
  • If your child is COVID positive, please let the school know as soon as possible. Your child must remain home until they are negative. If they are still showing symptoms and feeling unwell despite a negative test result, please keep them at home until they are well.
  • If your child is a close contact, please also advise the school.

We have entered the season of coughs and colds and we all know how these spread quickly in the classroom. I know many of your children don't like missing school, but if they are unwell they must remain at home to prevent illness spreading through the rest of our community.
