Year 3/4 Camp Roses Gap Recreation Centre
Year 3/4 students will have the opportunity to attend the Roses Gap Recreation Centre school camp from Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th October 2022.
Jamo students have attended this camp previously and have found it to be a great camp with professional staff and safety at the forefront of all activities.
Roses Gap Recreation Centre is an adventure camp and is situated on 120 acres of private land within the Grampians National Park, with views of the amazing sandstone mountain ranges. Local wildlife is abundant around the camp, including kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, birds and lizards.
More information including payment and consent will be provided next term. Please add the date to your calendar if you have a child in Year 3/4 and have a look at the website if you wish https://www.rosesgap.com.au/
Rapid Antigen Testing Survey
Important feedback on the rapid antigen testing (RAT) program is being sought from our school community through a short survey that has been developed by the Department of Health.
RATs are helping students and staff to safely return to school and ensure positive cases are identified as quickly as possible. All RATs ordered by the Victorian Government for schools are effective in detecting coronavirus (COVID-19) variants, including Omicron.
To help evaluate and improve the roll-out of the program to schools and ensure that staff and students have the required support, a short survey is being sent to parents at a sample of Victorian schools.
Our school has been selected to complete the survey from Tuesday 8 March 2022. The survey is voluntary and anonymous. Our school will have no access to your individual data or responses. The link to the survey is here:
The survey needs to be completed by 5pm Sunday 13 March 2022.
