Deputy Principal's News
Dear Parents and Carers,
Our return to school post Remote learning 5.0 has been filled with many exciting and engaging opportunities for the students. The Tokyo Olympics inspired many activities, from problem solving activities, classroom medal tallies, Olympic poetry, all the way to the creation of an Olympic village. Last Friday we celebrated ‘Green and Gold’ day to show our support for the Olympic athletes in Tokyo.
The students in years 3-6 participated in their own sporting event on the day, the 2021 Potato Olympics. It was endearing to see the students encourage their potatoes to go Faster, Higher and be Stronger. Unfortunately, some of our potato athletes ended up in first aid and required some dressing!!
Please find below some friendly reminders.
Kind regards,
Carmelina Corio

COVID-19 Safety at School
At St James we have put a number of strategies in place to reduce the risk of transmission. No one strategy is 100% effective.
Here are just some of the ways we are doing to keep our Students, School community and Staff safe and well.
In light of current restrictions and inline with our School COVID Safety we ask that you respect and follow the following guidelines.
Service Victoria QR Code and Face Masks
We kindly ask that all parents, carers and contractors and volunteers check-in using the Service Vic QR code displayed and wear a mask when entering the school building.
Thank you.
Self Isolating during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Can we kindly ask that if you or your family are required to self isolate during these times, that you inform the school via info@stjamesbrighton.catholic.edu.au so that we can offer any assistance possible.
Thank you!
Social Distancing
Thank you to all parents and carers who are helping the community to stay safe and healthy by keeping 1.5m apart at drop off and pick up times.
Although physical distancing will not apply to students in class, it does still apply to staff and parents. Therefore we ask that you respect our requests to minimise contact and continue with social distancing during drop off and pick ups, adults will also need to adhere to wearing masks when in public places including drop off and pick up when it is not possible to socially distance.
