Student Rapid Antigen Testing

The student RAT program will continue for all of Term 2 and students will be issued a 5-pack of RATs each fortnight; however, from 23 May students are only recommended to use a RAT if experiencing COVID-like symptoms or if they are a household close contact and need to test five times over seven days. 

Parenting Webinars

Two upcoming webinars may be of interest to parents (see links to flyers below):

Encouraging good behaviour with Dr Justin Coulson from parentingideas.com.au. Broadcast on 8 June from 8.00pm to 9.00pm. Aitken College is a member of Parenting Ideas so this webinar is no cost for the Aitken community. 

Safer online gaming.  Also hosted by esafety.gov.au and runs on 9, 17 or 21 June. 

Parenting Resources

In addition to the webinars promoted above, families are reminded of several websites that can be of assistance in dealing with the challenges of raising children. They all offer resources and regular webinars for parents.
