POSTED REMOTE LEARNING PACKS
To Parents/Carers,
This message is for those of you who have requested to have remote learning packs posted to your home. Please be aware that Australia Post here in Echuca have advised us that last week was a really slow week for sorting and delivery, some of you may only be receiving your packs now. Our Remote Learning Packs are posted every Wednesday afternoon, it is not possible to do so any... earlier.Once they leave our hands and are with Australia Post the amount of time it takes to get you is completely out of our control. If you would like to receive your pack in a more timely manner and contact free if that is what you wish, we are able to leave the packs out the front of the staff room doors, all we would ask is you call the office prior to next Wednesday to take your name off the mailing list and we can organise collection for you.
