Principals Message

Dear Families,

We were very lucky today, as students and teachers from Years 1, 2 & 5 got to celebrate Mass together with special thoughts of our dads in mind, leading up to Father's Day.

We thank Fr Michael and our wonderful students for making it such a beautiful Mass. 

We wish a very Happy Fathers' Day to all fathers, grandfathers and those who have a fatherly role in the lives of others this Sunday.

We hope you have an amazing day with lots of love, cuddles and wonderful surprises from your very grateful children.

Parent Forum:

We would like to have a Parent Forum Zoom in the next 2 weeks. At this stage, we are looking at Monday 14 September 2020 (Week 9). A google form is being sent to all parents to nominate a preferred time for the zoom if you are considering participating.

SRC Fundraiser

The Student Representative Council met this week and have nominated Friday 25th September (the last day of the term) as their fundraiser day.  Farrah Carpenter and Bradley Felsch, the SRC Presidents asked that the following information be forwarded to parents: 

• The students are able to wear appropriate casual clothes on the day.
• Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation.
• The free time will happen between lunch and recess.
• The activities will include a movie and outside game time.
• The money will be donated to a cause decided by the students. 

COVID 19 Practices Term 3 

• Staff and students exhibiting even mild COVID-19 symptoms are to be sent home and required to produce proof of a negative COVID-19 test before returning to school. 
• Non-essential adults are not be permitted to enter the school grounds. We ask that no parents enter the school past the front office. All inquiries to the front office, please. 
• Pick up and drop off will continue out the front of the school. 
• We have resumed our Canteen and will continue to offer this if we are able to get parent volunteers to assist.  The Parent helpers will be advised of the mandatory hygiene practices at the front office. PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE ON 66822468 IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GO ON TO THE CANTEEN ROSTER FOR TERM 3.  
• It is paramount in these times, in particular,  that any child who is unwell is kept at home. We appreciate your understanding and consideration for the safety of the other students and the staff.
• Our bubblers will still not to be used and therefore the children require a water bottle.
• Our stringent hygiene practices for our new normal continue with: the washing of hands regularly; sanitiser after eating, no food or drinks to be shared; coughing and sneezing into elbows, tissues discarded immediately, cleaning of the desks between lunch and recess breaks and extra cleaning of the school by our cleaners.

Have a wonderful weekend.
