Principal’s Report
Current guidelines re COVID-19:
Unfortunately, 2 members of our school community returned a positive test for COVID last week, with the latest being on Friday evening. Our thoughts and wishes for them is that they don’t become too ill with the virus in their isolation period.
If symptoms occur at any time, you should not attend school and should undertake a rapid antigen test. If a rapid antigen test is positive you/your child should isolate as
someone who has tested positive to COVID-19 . If you cannot access a rapid antigen test, you can attend a PCR (nose and throat swab) testing clinic.
We will be distributing our next round of rapid antigen test packs to parents for Stages 1, 2 3, and Special Education on Monday morning and afternoon at the Chapple Street cohort entrances. Another round will be available on Tuesday afternoon. If these times don’t suit you may come into the office, with a mask and check-in and we’ll hand over a pack for your child.
COVID Safe Check-in
Basically, things haven’t changed a great deal from the situation and guidelines in place at the end of last year in that parents and carers are still encouraged to remain outside the school grounds. That said, should you need to come into the school to purchase something or attend a scheduled meeting the following requirements are in place –
From Term 1 2022, all NSW public schools use the Service NSW
COVID Safe Check-in
Look for the COVID Safe QR code posters when you enter your child’s school. Be sure to sign in at the school administration building according to your school’s visitor guidelines.
Kindergarten
On a far more positive note, it was so great to see our Kindies commence their journey in Paradise on Friday. It always reminds me how lucky I am to be a teacher. Just a reminder that this cohort are dropped off and picked up from the McCulloch Street gates. We will take some photos this week for publication in the Barrier Truth.
