Request for materials and sewing items

We are very excited to have a Stage 6 Textiles and Design class starting this term. Mrs Rogers is busy making sure this class has all the necessary items they will need. She would be very interested to hear from anyone who may have excess material and sewing items/machines that they no longer need and would be willing to donate. If you do have something that might be of interest, please email Mrs Rogers at tanyarogers@ncs.nsw.edu.au Thank you.

2023 school travel applications are now open

Applications for student travel in 2023 opened from Monday 10 October 2022.

Students who need a School Opal Card or travel pass for 2023 can apply now. A new application will need to be submitted if they are applying for the first time, or if they are requesting an additional travel entitlement as a result of a new shared parental responsibility situation (e.g. joint custody).

Students who change address, school, campus location, have repeated a year or received an expiry notification from Transport for NSW for their school travel entitlement should renew or updatetheir details before the end of Term 4. This will ensure that schools can endorse applications, and entitlements remain valid for the start of the 2023 school year. 

School Opal Card holders will have the changes applied to their existing card.

If a student's distance eligibility has changed, based on their grade (i.e. Grade Two to Grade Three), the system will automatically update their entitlement if they meet the new criteria. If they do not meet the new eligibility criteria, we will send an expiry notification via email.

Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition that is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply.

Term Bus Passholders will receive a notification to re-apply.

Have you liked our new Facebook Page?

Facebook is a great way to keep up-to-date with things that are happening at our school. Unfortunately, due to some issues with our Facebook page, we have had to start a new one. We will continue to post on both pages until the end of this year, but to be sure you keep seeing the current posts going forward, please ensure you have liked the correct page.

Can you recommend us?

To help us establish this new page, we would love for some current parents to recommend us and leave a review on Facebook. To do this, you can click on the button below. Thank you.

COVID-19 Test Register Form

UPDATED INFORMATION

If a household/close contact tests positive to COVID-19, you should: 

• continue to attend school but closely monitor for any symptoms and we recommend you undertake a RAHT test if symptoms develop
• not attend school while you have acute symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough and fever

If a student/staff member tests positive to COVID-19, you should: 

• complete the school’s COVID-19 register form
• not attend school while you have acute symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough and fever
• only return to school once all symptoms have gone
• consider wearing a mask if you believe this would be helpful
• provide a medical certificate from your GP to continue to attend school if you (student or staff member) are still displaying ongoing symptoms that are typical of a condition such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

Whilst the guidelines above apply directly to our school, we would also draw your attention to the general advice provided in the following link. These NSW Health recommendations relate to people who test positive to COVID-19. They can be summarised as follows: 

• stay home until acute symptoms have gone
• don’t visit people at high risk of severe illness, anyone in hospital or an aged or disability care facility for at least 7 days
• wear a mask when indoors and on public transport, if you must leave home
• avoid large gatherings and indoor crowded places
• talk to the school about when you should return to school
• tell people that you live with, or spend a lot of time with (such as the school), that you have COVID-19
• try to separate from people you live with as much as possible
• register tyour positive rapid antigen test result with Service NSW

Please note that we have some surplus RAHT kits available. Should your family require a new kit, please complete this form and we will send it home via your eldest child.
