Dear Families and Friends,

Well, can you believe we had to go into a circuit breaker lockdown this week. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. It was very difficult to put plans in place when we were given the information from Premier Dan Andrews and Catholic Education Melbourne with such short notice. I was very proud of the staff who spent time on the weekend getting work together for the children to have during 3 days of school closure with provision for remote learning.

As with all things Covid, please continue to check Skoolbag and your emails for updates as we navigate the new COVID normal. At the time of writing this article the following will be in place for parents:

Children are to be dropped at the gates - A-K on Chute Street and L-Z on Barkly Street
Children’s hands will be sanitised coming into school during the day and leaving school
Masks are mandatory for parents outdoors and indoors and you will not be allowed to go into your child’s classrooms due to the density quota. (Same as prior to the circuit breaker)

Happy Birthday

A very big happy birthday to Father Andrew for Friday. I hope you have a wonderful day and get to spend it with family and friends.
