Broken Hill North Public School

Our Year 6 Farewell Luncheon will be held on Monday 13th December from 12.30pm and as in past years it is our staff’s opportunity to acknowledge our oldest students and wish them well as they transition to high school. It’s going to be fantastic!

To our Year 6 cohort who will be moving on to their secondary education I wish you all the best and trust you will make the most of the opportunities available to you in high school. Remember, once a Northie always a Northie!!

Our Presentation Day and Royal Blue Assembly were both held last week. Our students were amazing and showed great respect for the occasions. Huge thanks to Mrs Hellyer and Mr Lardner who put together an audio/visual production of the days’ events, hopefully you’ve been able to view and get a window into the occasions.

Parents and carers must follow their school’s advice regarding student drop-off and pick-up, which will usually require parents to remain off school sites at these times. This includes staying in the car when dropping off and picking up children if it is safe to do so.

Parents and carers should follow the physical distancing advice for their local area and avoid gathering outside of school gates.

Assemblies and presentations will be allowed outdoors on site. Cohorts will be separated with physical distancing in place where practicable.

Fully vaccinated visitors (including parents and carers) are only allowed to attend if completing a specific role (such as presenting) and at the invitation of the school. All visitors must check in using the school check-in and show proof of vaccination.

Schools can plan for these events to be held from 1 December.

Graduations and formals will be allowed within cohorts, either on school sites or at external venues.

For graduations and formals held on school sites, students in the cohort may attend regardless of vaccination status.

Currently masks are required for anyone aged 12 and over while indoors (and strongly recommended for primary school students) except while eating and drinking. If graduations and formals are held outdoors, masks are not required.

Shared spaces, such as changing rooms, libraries, school halls and other communal areas, may only be used by one cohort at a time, with adherence to strict personal hygiene protocols and physical distancing requirements.

P&C associations may hold meetings on school sites outside of school hours without a Community Use Agreement or COVID-19 Safety Plan.

The local President of the P&C, or a delegate, must ensure:

•  All P&C members that attend meetings on the school site must be fully vaccinated. The President (or delegate) must visually sight vaccination status to verify that requirements are met.

•  All P&C members in attendance at each meeting must check-in using either the school check-in code or a P&C-specific QR code.

Which mindset is most likely to result in learning?  Change the words, change the mindset!
