Creating a Covid-Safe Environment at School

The most important action we can take as a school community to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19), is to ensure that any unwell staff and students remain at home, even with the mildest of symptoms.

 

Australian Girls Choir Open Day

WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK   Due to COVID restrictions this is not allowed

A reminder to all parents who wish to assist in the classrooms or on excursions that a WWCC is mandatory and should be displayed at all times when helping in the classroom or on excursions.

 

HEAD LICE – ONCE A WEEK TAKE A PEEK 

Families, please check your child’s hair for Head Lice each Sunday before they return to school. Please treat immediately if head lice are found. Head lice numbers would be reduced if this quick check happened every week.

 

HEAD INJURIES

Any child who has a knock/bump to the head will have their parents notified as a precaution. All children who are treated in sickbay or on the playground are issued with a First Aid slip; however, often these are not seen by Parent. All staff are trained in first aid but we are unable to make decisions or judgments regarding head injuries. Please seek advice from your GP if you are concerned.

 

STAFF MEETINGS 

Will be held each Tuesday & Wednesday at 3.45pm. 

Please do not detain teachers on these days. Any conversations of a sensitive nature need to be held at an appropriate time and place.
