K-6 Return to School
It is fantastic to see all our students back at school this week. Thank you for your support over the last few weeks with Home Learning. Please let us know if your child is experiencing any difficulties settling back into the normal school routine.
When students come to school they must bring their own water bottle as the bubblers are not in use. All students from Year 1-6 need to have their own pencil case with items clearly labelled with their name, please.

Hygiene at School
Please remind your children the importance of washing their hands and using the hand sanitiser provided in all classrooms when coming to school. It is also important that they remember to socially distance from each other.
PE & Sport Lessons
PE and Sport lessons in K-6 will resume this week. Students are not allowed to participate in any team sports (this also includes at breaks), but will participate in a variety of skills. K-2 sport will be tabloid rotations and Year 3-6 sport will be Athletics. All of the equipment will be wiped down or sprayed with disinfectant at the end of use and students must wash their hands. There will be no Sports Carnivals this term or trials for students in Year 3-6.
Uniform
Students are now expected to be in full school Winter uniform. If for any reason your child is out of uniform, please send in a note. Please check our uniform policy and what is required on our school website. A reminder that students should not have nail polish on and are not allowed to have shaved designs in their hair.
School Recycling Program
We are continuing our recycling program across the school. TerraCycle and Colgate® have partnered to create a free recycling program for oral care product packaging as well as a fundraising opportunity for participants. Any funds we raise will go to Catholic Mission. Program accepted waste includes: toothpaste tubes and caps, manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads, toothbrush and toothpaste tube plastic packaging, floss containers. Please recycle your cardboard packaging in your kerbside recycling bin. Electronic toothbrush handles and bases are not recyclable through this program.
A bin will be placed in the front office where recyclables can be collected or students can bring them into their classrooms give them to their teachers for collection.
