Congratulations and well done once again. Sports Day Captains During the past 2 weeks the Year 6/7 students have been very busy planning and writing applications for the 2021 Sports Captain positions. They are to be congratulated for putting their hands up to lead their team. The teachers were very impressed with their written applications and confidence in speaking to their teams, their thoughtful responses and then going through the voting process. It was a daunting task for them but they should be very proud of themselves. Congratulations and good luck to all the sports captains. We wish them well with their training and hope that they get the best from their respective teams. Wattle Captains: Abbey and Paige Pine Captains: Charlotte and Tom Bluegum Captains: Makayla and Georgia Banskia Captains: Bradlei and Josh Health and Safety In 2017 there was a health and safety concern raised by the Department. This stated that cords, drawstrings and toggles in hats and children’s clothing may become entrapped in small gaps found in play equipment causing strangulation, severe injury, lacerations to the throat and damage to the vocal cords. As a result of this, a directive was sent to all schools stating the following. All Sites should: inspect school hats worn by students and remove any cords. ensure that all stock of hats and clothing in their uniform supplies have all cords, including draw strings on hooded tops removed. prohibit the wearing of any uniform or other hats that do not meet the above safety recommendations. This directive is still in place and this reminder is mainly for our new families who may be wondering why none of our hats or hoodies have drawstrings on them. If you send your child to school with a clothing item that does have a drawstring then we are under a health and safety obligation to prohibit the student from wearing the item at school.
