CHANGES TO COVID-19 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Victorian Government has announced the end of the pandemic declaration and associated pandemic orders. New settings were applied from 11.59 pm on Wednesday 12th October 2022.
Changes to COVID-19 isolation requirements for schools as set out by the Victorian Government:
It is strongly recommended that students:
- who test positive for COVID-19 should stay home and isolate for five days
- should not attend school after five days if still symptomatic
- who are symptomatic but have not tested positive should not attend school.
Where students become symptomatic at school, they should:
- be collected by their parents/carers
- undergo testing for COVID-19.
If you require more RAT kits, please contact the school office and we will send some home with your child.
HEAD LICE
There have been a few reported cases of head lice in the school. Please check your child's hair regularly. If eggs or lice are present, please treat your child's hair thoroughly before letting them return to school. Please click on attached fact sheet for more information abut detecting and treating lice and nits (the eggs).
NEW SUPPLIER FOR 2023 STUDENT STATIONERY NEEDS
This year you will be invited to use an on-line supplier for your child's 2023 stationery supplies. In early November you will be sent a link to access the supplier (Campion Education) and your child's stationery list.
If you purchase these supplies through Campion, you will pay them directly and your order can be delivered to your preferred address.
You can of course purchase the items from another retailer if you prefer.
More information will be sent out in November.
SCHOOL UNIFORM - TERM 4
The change of seasons also encourages a change of school uniform.
As the weather warms up students will want to start wearing their summer uniform. We have no set date when students must be in a certain uniform, they are able to wear either their winter or summer uniform depending on the weather conditions.
A reminder that we are a Sunsmart School and all children are required to wear a hat outside during first and fourth terms. Please ensure your child has a hat that is clearly named.
