Dear Families, 

Congratulations to our Cross Country Team who represented themselves  and our school so well yesterday at  the District Sports event.

It is a great achievement to have made the SJV team and compete at this level.  We have four students whose success yesterday allows them to compete at the Division stage in two weeks time.

Well done to Scott, Aiden, Dina and Tyler  

CYBERSAFETY PARENT EVENING TONIGHT 

 

Please don't forget about the Parent session which will be this evening in the Performing Arts Area at 7:00pm at school.

Our topic is:

RAISING KIDS IN A DIGITAL WORLD

We have engaged  Marty McGaurin and Carley McGauren as our facilitators. They are excellent speakers and I can promise you a most informative evening.  

If you haven't registered but would like to come along please just do so. 

Parents attending must have a double vaccination. 

NO TUCKSHOP TOMORROW THURSDAY

A reminder to all parents that the Tuckshop will be closed  TOMORROW Thursday 19th May. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

WALK TO SCHOOL DAY - FRIDAY 

This Friday 20th May is National Walk Safely to School Day.  The front and back gates are open at 8.20 am on this day.

As part of our active and healthy focus, I encourage all families to walk all or part of the way to school. Upon arrival, there will be fruit at the front and back gate, as well as a visit from the police. 

We understand that for some families it is impossible to walk to school or even part way. For those (and all other) students, our SRC will set up a lap on the oval where they can participate in our  'walk to school' initaitive as well. 

I thank all our parent volunteers for their contributions.  More information on the 'Reminder: National Walk Safely to School' page

COVID  UPDATES - RATS 

The latest advice from MACS:

  •  It is recommended that from next Monday 23rd May, RATs are used by students and staff when symptomatic. 
  • RATs are also required to be used for five days if a student or staff member is a close contact of a confirmed case and they are attending or working at a school.
  • From Monday 23rd May 2022, we do not recommend that non-symptomatic students or staff conduct RATs twice a week in mainstream schools.
  • Students and staff must continue to notify the Department of Health and their school if they return a positive RAT result.
  • Vaccination remains the best way to protect students and staff in school settings, and your ongoing support in encouraging children aged 5 to 11 to get vaccinated and staff and 16–17 year olds to get their third dose remains critical.

NAPLAN

Congratulations to all our students in Year 3 and 5 who have now competed their online NAPLAN assessments. The results of these assessments will be sent to the school in the coming months and will be forwarded to parents when they arrive.  

BEFORE SCHOOL REMINDER

Please note that there is no supervision before 8:30 am.  Classrooms are opened at this time. Before School Care is available from 6:30am.  

ILLNESS

We still have a number of students and staff who are unwell. A reminder to all parents that if your child is sick they must stay home.  Students who are unwell require rest. Please do not ask staff for work for your child when your child is sick. 

 

PARKING  

Take Care at Drop off and Pick ups

Please be patient, careful and considerate of our students, toddlers, parents and community members at pick up and drop off.

Please  be very mindful and careful of pedestrian traffic (students and community members) crossing at the driveway exit to our car park. Students must be escorted by an adult to and from the car in the church carpark.

Please obey all traffic signs and rules around the school.
