Deputy Principal's News
Dear Parents and Carers,
This term has presented us with a number of challenges and a variety of new and exciting learning opportunities. We thank you for the many varied and diverse ways in which as a School Community you have supported the school and your children.
May the school holidays be a time to rest, relax and recharge, in readiness for Term 4.
End of Term Prayer
We thank you Lord, for this term!
For the challenges, successes, and the mistakes from which we have learnt. Be with us as we spend our time with family and friends. Give us strength and courage to do what is right: to be witnesses of our faith. During these holidays, help us to appreciate what others do for us, to give time and effort to help others. To be peacemakers in our family. Keep us safe in our activities; give us good rest and good fun. Bring us back refreshed and ready for a new term. We thank you for our classmates, teachers, parents and a community that cares for us.
May we always be conscious of you in our lives.
AMEN

COVID-19 Safety at School
At St James we have put a number of strategies in place to reduce the risk of transmission. No one strategy is 100% effective.
Here are just some of the ways we are doing to keep our Students, School community and Staff safe and well.
In light of current restrictions and inline with our School COVID Safety we ask that you respect and follow the following guidelines.
A few reminders regarding students who attend onsite during Remote Learning 2.0
- Please ensure that they bring their assigned device (Ipad or Chromebook) which has been labelled by the school. If students are attending each day, they need to ensure that devices go home each night and are brought back charged. Devices should not be left at school, in the event that the school is closed and we are unable to enter the building.
- Students require their own set of headphones for Google Meets etc.
- A daily Student Covid-19 Declaration Form will need to be completed and brought to school each morning.
Parents and Carers who have enrolled their child/ren in onsite supervision, please ensure that you fill in the Operoo shared with you.
Service Victoria QR Code and Face Masks
We kindly ask that all parents, carers and contractors and volunteers check-in using the Service Vic QR code displayed and wear a mask when entering the school building.
Thank you.
Self Isolating during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Can we kindly ask that if you or your family are required to self isolate during these times, that you inform the school via info@stjamesbrighton.catholic.edu.au so that we can offer any assistance possible.
Thank you!
Social Distancing
Thank you to all parents and carers who are helping the community to stay safe and healthy by keeping 1.5m apart at drop off and pick up times.
Although physical distancing will not apply to students in class, it does still apply to staff and parents. Therefore we ask that you respect our requests to minimise contact and continue with social distancing during drop off and pick ups, adults will also need to adhere to wearing masks when in public places including drop off and pick up when it is not possible to socially distance.
