A Message from Emily
Welcome back everyone! It is wonderful to see so many smiling and restful faces after our term break. I had a wonderful time away with my family in the Flinders Ranges and it was stunning to see the outback so green and full of life this time of year.
This term's Learn, Stand, Give Fly focus is Challenge Seeking! For some, seeking challenge seems a bit daunting, but the overall goal is to establish larger levels of resilience. Often when we seek challenges we can tap into new skills and abilities we didn’t know we had! I wonder if we could all find a challenge for this term. It may be to be more grateful every day, or to see family more, or to do less. Whatever the challenge we choose to seek, have a think about the why behind it. Finding purpose and meaning in a challenge often can assist us in persisting to complete our challenge.
What can you challenge yourself with this term?

CHECK: Covid measures
Here are the current recommendations from the Department for Education:
COVID safe measures
- All students and staff must stay home if unwell, even mildly. If students become unwell at school, we are unable to care for them here and we will be contacting you to collect them asap. Please have a plan in place for someone who can collect your child within a half hour.
- We will be maximising ventilation by leaving doors/windows open, using air conditioning and fans, and keeping doors and windows open.
- Adults will practise physical distancing where possible.
- We will continue to practise and promote hand and respiratory hygiene. Hand sanitiser will be provided for regular use, and disposable masks.
Face masks
- We are still recommending adults and children in Years 3-6 to wear masks inside, to minimise the risk of infection. However we are now leaving this up to individual discretion.
Pick up and drop off
- In the morning please continue to drop children off at one of the entrances to the school grounds, and allow them to make their own way to their classrooms. If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, please make contact through the SeeSaw app.
- We are now welcoming families to come into the yard at the end of the day.
Assemblies
- Assemblies are now allowed to be held in person once again with COVID safe measures in place, once a fortnight on the Friday of every odd week at 2:30 unless informed otherwise.
