Out and About the School
School TV Launch
It’s never been more challenging for parents to raise happy, healthy and resilient children. Like never before, parents need to be informed with clear, fact-based information on the many challenges faced by today’s youth. Topics such as youth anxiety, depression, self-harm, drug and alcohol use, cyberbullying and many others need clear explanation and guidance.
SchoolTV is a new ongoing resource that is now available to our parents. Each edition will address a major topic with expert interviews, fact sheets, parent quiz, recommended apps, books and much more. SchoolTV aggregates information from many great resources such as BeyondBlue and ReachOut, amongst others.
SchoolTV provides a single stream of independent factual information that saves parents time and confusion of searching online across multiple sites for information.You can access the SchoolTV archive here: https://stxaviersgunnedah.catholic.schooltv.me/category-latest-newsletter
Sickness
A reminder that students must not come to school if they are showing any signs of sickness. If your child is at school with a runny nose, cough, fever etc we will ring parents to collect straight away. The NSW Department of Health says anyone with flu or cold-like symptoms should be tested for COVID-19, especially if you have traveled in the past 14 days to a high risk area or have been in contact with a known case.
School Photos
The new dates for School Photos are set for:
- Wednesday 19 August
- Thursday 20 August
Photo envelopes have been sent home and are due back to school by Friday 14 August. Please DO NOT expect to return envelopes on the day. This is very difficult for the office and the photographers to manage.
(These dates are subject to change depending on COVID 19 restrictions)
School Fees
Just a reminder that Term 2 fees are overdue. Please contact Jeni Muller either by phone or email if you have any concerns. jmuller4@arm.catholic.edu.au
Term 3 fee statements will be emailed on Monday.
Kindergarten 2021
We have almost finalised our enrolments for Kinder 2021. If you are a current family and are yet to enrol your child, you need to do this ASAP. Please do not assume we know your younger child is ready to start school. It makes it very difficult to plan student numbers when we receive late enrolments.
