Welcome back to Paradise! I really hope everyone has had an enjoyable break from the routines of school and are now ready to take on the many opportunities that are planned for Term 3.
Unfortunately, with the ongoing COVID issue in Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour), we are now on Level 2 guidelines.
The main changes being –
Students are learning at school and not required to wear face masks. Face masks are recommended in all indoor settings for staff. We will do our best to work with this in a classroom situation. Non-essential visitors are not permitted in schools. Parents and carers must follow this direction regarding changes to drop off and pick up including minimal time at boundary of school. Parents should: maintain physical distancing by avoiding gathering outside of school gates,
remain outside of school grounds, and
follow mask-wearing requirements and sign-in using the Service NSW QR code if there is a need to enter the school this includes if you choose to come in and order your child's lunch at the canteen.
Assemblies can be held with COVID-Safe practices. No visitors/parents permitted.
This is not ideal but we’re in a far better situation than Greater Sydney (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour) and hopefully things will return to what we were used to sooner than later. Fingers crossed.
Semester 1 reports were sent home last term and hopefully every student has had an opportunity to sit down with their family and talk through their report. It is a great opportunity to focus on learning and where your child is currently performing in the key learning areas and what sort of effort they’re applying to their learning as well. Keep on keeping on!
Yesterday the staff had an opportunity to work through a range of professional learning opportunities which all aim to improve how we do what we do for your children. Student voice, K-6 numeracy, literacy, HOW2Learn and general organisation for this term were all covered during the day. All in all it was a very productive day and we thank families for their support in keeping their children home for the day.
Gala Days - On Wednesday 23 June, our girls had a crack at AFL and brought home the shield and the boys Soccer teams were really competitive. All we expected from them was to do their best and have fun! Mission accomplished!
