Mentone Park Primary School Broome Avenue, Mentone 3194 Phone 9583 4935 [email protected]www.mentonepark.vic.edu.au Teamwork Integrity Excellence Respect Reaching Higher Welcome to Cameron's Corner WHAT A TERM As I sit down to write my last newsletter for this term I must say that I feel a wonderful sense of pride in the way that our entire school community has come together through the uncertainty of the past few months. From the way our staff banded together to produce the online earning platform in only a matter of days, to the resilience of our students and families as we strove to continue to provide outstanding learning opportunities for our students. We may had to forgo excursions to the park, local sport, family visits and days at the shops but the strength of our community has shone brightly and given everyone an air of positivity of brighter days ahead. Next Monday School Council will look at the Department of Education guidelines regarding onsite activities (eg. Instrumental Music) as well as the possibility of camps and excursions going ahead. We have received some information but wish to apply this to our specific contexts before we make firm decisions. PICK UP AND DROP OFF PROTOCOLS Thank you to all families for your understanding regarding the changes to pick up and drop off. This is all based on the best medical advice available to reduce the potential spread of Covid-19. We understand it is different to what you may be used to but I can assure you it has created a smooth transition for students into class and a preparedness for learning promptly at 9am. School operates on normal times, with and 8:50 starting bell for a 9am start. Please do not be late. Foundation families may drop students on the grass area outside the room. All other parents are not to enter the school grounds. This is the advice of the Chief Medical Officer. Please remember all social distancing measures are in place and need to be adhered to. School cleaning will occur twice a day, totalling 9 hours per day. Drop off will be the busiest part of the day. Please ask siblings to collect each other and meet at a predetermined place. Staff will be on duty after school to assist.

WELCOME BACK TO CLASSROOM CUISINE!
FOR THE REMAINDER OF T2 WE WILL BE OPERATING A REDUCED MENU
on FRIDAYS only!
We're going to maintain our 8.30am on the day cutoff, however if at all possible
it would help us enormously to PLAN and AVOID FOOD WASTE, if you could
PLEASE ORDER THE NIGHT BEFORE!
(Or even further in advance if you can!)
NEW LOOK MENU! Our Food Prep Kitchen is a hive of activity in the morning. We've often marvelled as our business has grown, what we can achieve in our 'tiny' space and how many people we
can squeeze in to do what we do! Obviously, a return post lockdown, with thoughts around social distancing, has forced us to rethink this and on a practical level there's
really no other option than to reduce the number of items on our Menu while we find our way. The idea of pairing back the menu was a bit sad, so rather than taking on this
negative - we're using it as an opportunity and we've come up with some cool new menu ideas! These are choices we think your children will enjoy, but also things that we can
prepare in a different 'time window' to the normal shoulder to shoulder setting of our Salad, Sandwich & Fruit Chopping kitchen. Our inspiration is the cooler weather and we've
created a new take on some old winter favourites. While there's only a small number of
children at school it's an ideal time for us to give them a whirl!
