Principal's Report 

Dear Parents, 

 

Welcome back for our final term of the 2021 school year and what a year it has been!  It will be absolutely fantastic to have our youngest students back onsite from next week with our older students gradually making their way onsite after that. Below are some critical dates for the next three weeks.  

 

Please read these carefully so you aware when your child can attend onsite. If they are attending onsite, they are also able to make use of before and after school care for those days. These dates will also be sent to parents via XUNO closer to the time so you will be well aware of the dates which relate to you. 

 

It is crucial that parents adhere to our ongoing COVID safe measures including not entering the buildings, and all adults on the school site MUST be wearing a mask and MUST maintain social distancing.

IMPORTANT DATE FRIDAY NOVEMBER 5

From Friday November 5, remote and flexible learning ceases and all students attend onsite every day. 

 

From this point on, it will be up to all of us to make sure we do all we can to stay COVID safe. As you know all school staff must have had their first vaccination by October 15 with all school staff double-dosed by November 29. 

I've certainly had both of my vaccinations and I would encourage each and every one of us to talk to our GP and  ensure we are double-dosed as well. 

 

Kind Regards, 

 

Simon McGlade
