This Week's Updates
Dear Families,
The sound of the Preps coming from their well ventilated classrooms this morning was music to our ears!
I was so proud of how they all came in through the gates and easily transitioned back into school life. After a bit of social time with their classmates, they were back into the mode of learning they commenced the year with. It was personally satisfying to see the great improvement in many students' writing.
Here are a couple of photos we took this morning
Return to School Government Announcements
Following yesterday's press conference lead by the Premier, so far there has been one main change in the return to school timeline affecting our students. We will communicate any further changes as soon as they are confirmed to us.
Here is the information MACS sent out to me yesterday afternoon which I summarised in an email to all families.
The roadmap for schools in metropolitan Melbourne has also changed and brought forward the current staggered days for each year level as outlined below:
- Years 5 and 6 students will return on Friday 22 October and will be onsite part time for the following week. They will learn remotely Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 October before returning onsite on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 October.
- Year levels Prep, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 will stay on the current schedule.
A full-time return for all metropolitan students is expected early in November.
