Term Dates 2023
Tasmanian Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast
This morning, members of staff and some secondary students, were invited to the Tasmanian Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast. The event brings together like-minded people from across Tasmania to pray for our State, our leaders, parliamentarians, businesses, schools, communities and community organisations; our families, youth, and children.
Each year, a recognised public figure who has made a significant contribution to the community is a guest speaker at the breakfast. This year, the guest speaker was Robyn Moore; a passionate Tasmanian, who began her career as an Educator, then explored her love of recording and entertainment. Robyn’s unique understanding of “The Power of the Word” and effective communication skills, enable her to create entertaining and inspiring presentations, woven together with stories from her life experiences and spirituality that she lives every day!
Those that attended enjoyed a morning of Prayer and devotion together.
First Steps
First Steps is a playgroup styled program held in two locations - FREE for all children from birth to 4 years of age.

Reporting of Covid-19
RATS available through the College Office
CURRENT Covid-19 Information for Parents
We will continue to follow advice provided by the Tasmanian Government and the Department of Education.
RAT kits are available from the College when required.
If your child is unwell, please stay at home and test using the RAT provided by the College. If the result is negative, and your child is feeling well, they can return to school. If positive, let the school know (email admin@scc.tas.edu.au), keep your child at home and advise Public Health.
Changes to isolation requirements
From 14 October 2022 individuals who have COVID-19 symptoms are encouraged to stay at home while they remain unwell, but it will no longer be mandated for them to remain in isolation for 5 days.
For further and up-to-date information from the State Government visit:

Gastroenteritis or Covid?
We have had a number of incidences of gastroenteritis over the past week. If Public Health advises a RAT test, please follow those directions. If it is not Covid related, please be advised that children are not to return to school until they have been free from vomiting or diarrhoea for at least 48 hours from their last episode.
If you have had Covid in the last 12 weeks, you are not required to test again even if you have symptoms as you are likely to return a positive test due to the virus continuing to leave your system.
Please refer to the Tasmanian Public Health guidelines at coronavirus.tas.gov.au for all the current information.
Mr Headley will be growing a moustache for Movember!
In the words of Mr Headley:
On the 11th November, I was shaving and the word 'Movember' popped into my head. 'Why not?' I said to myself, 'better late than never'.
I’m supporting Movember because they’re tackling some of the most significant health issues faced by men. Your donations will help them stop men dying too young.
I realise that many people already have giving commitments so no pressure to donate at all and no pressure to donate large amounts - even a dollar is good!
Thanks for your support.

Welcome Baby Elouise!
Congratulations to Lizzy and Tim Phythian on the safe arrival of their little girl, born several weeks earlier than expected!
Mrs Phythian said:
Her name is Elouise Joyce. Elouise means 'famous warrior' and Joyce was my grandmother's name. It means 'rejoice'.
She is doing well despite being quite premature. She will be in hospital for about another month, and we will travel in and see her every day.
Thanks for all your prayers over this journey. We love her so much and I can't wait for you to all meet her!
