Work has begun on the multipurpose court with the removal of the existing fence. With a beautiful new surface, it will certainly make the bounce of the ball a little more predictable! During this work, the entrance to the worksite will be through a separate entrance from May St. The current gate will still be in use for students. Thank you to our parents and families for remaining off site as much as possible and for being vigilant in keeping your child at home if they are unwell. There have been some cases of schools closing but not in our area. As restrictions lift gradually, we are being able to return to some of our usual activities. Our website features the most recent parent guidelines from the Department of Education. For our school there will not be any whole school assemblies for some time however we will continue to recognise student progress and achievement through our Merit Awards and House Points. The Student Council will be holding three discos next Thursday to recognise the great effort made by students during the last few months. Great idea SRC! We can now hold our School Photos and wonderful Dance2bFit lessons in Term 3. Next term also sees the return of weekly Scripture lessons. All approved visitors to the school site must be inducted into the new safety protocols and agree to abide by them to ensure the safety of everyone. For this semester only, the school reports have been adjusted in recognition of the impact of learning from home and at school during Term 1 and 2, 2020. The teachers comment will describe your child’s progress and achievement in the learning covered during the first two terms of the year. The report will focus on the learning undertaken in English and Mathematics and a general comment encompassing learning at home, commitment to learning and social development. Due to the restriction to visitors on site, we are unable to hold our usual face-to-face interviews, so class teachers have begun to contact families to start the interview process by phone. Those families not contacted this term will be notified early next term of arrangements for the next round of interviews.
