All students and families will be supported with learning from home materials and resources.
If you are working from home and your child is able to be educated from home, please continue to keep them at home.
I want to thank all of our families for your support during this time. Please get in touch with the school to arrange to speak to your child’s teacher to discuss any additional needs for your child or family to support you to learn from home.
Thank you for your support.
