Term 3 - Week 3
Principal’s News
Dear Parents and Carers
As a school community we continue to follow health advice in relation to
adult social distancing and enhanced hygiene practices. The current
advice is that the NSW Government strongly encourages greater use of
masks in high-risk public settings to help prevent the spread of COVID -
19. NSW health specifically recommends the use of face masks in
indoor settings where adult physical distancing is hard to maintain.
As a school we have made the decision to request all external adult
visitors to the school to wear a mask when having a face to face
meeting with our staff. This will come into effect on Wednesday 5
August 2020.
Please continue to keep up to date with current updates from NSW
health. All suspected and confirmed cases should also be reported to
the school office following testing. If your child is sick with any flu like
symptoms please keep them home from school and seek health advice
prior to their return to school.
REMINDERS
School Photos
School photos are scheduled to take place next Tuesday, 11 August.
Information and order details have been sent home again last week. If
you have already placed an order this is still applicable and all order
envelopes (original envelopes or replacement flyer) will be required to
be returned on the day.
Before School Supervision
Student supervision commences at 8:40am each day. Children must
not be sent to school before this time as they are not supervised. The
OOSH provide a before school service in our school hall for working
parents. Please contact Matt from the OOSH on 6554 8905 to organise
your child’s before school care.

Are your children late to school?
There continues to be a significant number of students arriving late to
school each day. This impacts directly on student learning and
engagement in the classroom. With the current social distancing
restriction this is also seriously impacting on the number of people
permitted in the foyer waiting to be signed in late. Can you please
ensure that your children are at school on time for classes to
commence at 9:10am each morning.
School Reports
Due to the disruptions to school at the end of Term 1 and beginning of
Term 2 this year, due to the COVID restrictions, it is anticipated that
our Semester 1 Reports will be sent home to families in the Week
beginning 24 August 2020, although this could be earlier.
Learning Meetings
This term our Learning Meetings will be held over the telephone.
Information will be sent home to families early next week so that
parents/carers can book telephone appointment times with class
teachers. The telephone meetings will be conducted in Weeks 5, 6 & 7
(17 August to 4 September). Our aim is to connect with every family
during this period.
