A reminder that tomorrow, Friday 3rd June is a report writing day for staff and a pupil free day for students.  OSHC will be running for families who require childcare, however bookings are essential.

 

Tomorrow, the Upper Hume Division Cross Country will be held in Wodonga, for those students in years 3-6, who qualified at Tawonga. Many thanks to families for their support with transport and supervision at this event and good luck to all our runners!

Other Reminders:

*We are still collecting old runners for recycling, as part of our  'Tread Lightly' campaign to reduce landfill.  Alternatively, you can also drop off your shoes at participating stores.  To read more about this program, please see this link.

 

*RATs may still be collected from the office through until the end of term.  It is recommended that RATs are used by students when symptomatic. RATs are also required to be used for 5 days if a student is a close contact of a confirmed case and they are attending school. Families are no longer required to undertake twice-weekly testing of non-symptomatic students, but are required to continue to notify the Department of Health and the school if your child returns a positive RAT result. Additionally, you should inform us if any of your children are household contacts.

nb. Students aged 8 and older, who are household contacts, are required to wear a mask indoors.

 

*Please continue to check and update any new or past student absences via the Compass portal.
