Please return forms as soon as possible to the appropriately marked box in the Secondary Staffroom foyer. If you do not wish your child to participate in this program, do not return the consent cards to school. Instead, please notify the school of your preference by phone or email.

The Primary Instrumental Program still has a few spots left for 2021. Be sure to register quickly to secure your child's place.
COVID-19 Test Register Form
It is important that we continue to be vigilant in ensuring that staff and students do not attend school or work if they are unwell. Please note the following:
- Students absent or sent home due to flu-like symptoms need to be tested for COVID-19.
- Staff and students must not return to school or work until they receive a negative COVID-19 result and are symptom-free.
- Staff and students who have had a COVID-19 test must complete the COVID-19 Test Register before returning to school. This form will require you to upload a screenshot of the test results.
- If the student or staff member is still displaying ongoing symptoms that are typical of a condition such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), they can provide a medical certificate from their GP to continue to attend school.
