Dear Parents,

We wish Mr Flanagan a Very Happy 60th Birthday for today. We surprised him with a birthday Google Meet and shared all the lovely videos, photos, gifts and cards which you all generously contributed to. He was thrilled, thankyou!

The Junior school will be sending an email regarding next week's return to school. This information will also appear on the Remote Learning Portal. A reminder that students in Prep to Yr2 return to school on Tuesday 26th of May in their Sports Uniform (Tuesday & Friday) and every other day in Term 2 they are to wear full Winter Uniform.

With reference to the information sent earlier this week 'Return to School Transition and Planning-Information for Families'

Students must bring their own drink bottle; students are not to use the communal kitchen for anything other than filling drink bottles. There is to be no sharing of food as per our usual practice.

Please note the following is applicable for student birthdays:

As there is to be no food sharing, if you would like to send along individually wrapped packaged treats i.e., freddo frogs, these can be handed into the classroom teacher for distribution at the end of the day for students to take home. This will ensure that it is still a special day for the birthday person without putting anyone at risk.

A reminder to please refer to the 'Return to School Transition and Planning-Information' for Families' regarding drop off / pick up times and locations.

Borrowed School Devices

As we prepare to return to school, a friendly reminder that if you have borrowed a device (iPad or Chromebook) from school during Remote Learning, this will need to be returned to school on the first day back for your year level.

For students in years Foundation - 2 this is on Tuesday 26th May

For students in year 3 - 6 this will be on Tuesday 9th June

There will be clearly labelled tubs located in the foyer for students to return their borrowed devices. Can I please ask that you ensure the chargers that were loaned out are also returned.

When returning devices and chargers please ensure that they are named (if possible use a rubber band to secure the charger to the device). We will cross reference the devices to our register and sign them back in. Please do not attempt to remove any name labels from the devices, this will be done at school.

All devices will be cleaned prior to them being made available for students to use in classrooms.

If the device has been damaged or you have a concern, please email me at
