Week 9

June 24th

2020

DIARY

DATES

3rd July – End of term 2.15pm 3rd July – Reports go home. 20th July – Term 3 starts

Dear Parents / Care givers Hi Everyone Winter has certainly let us know that it has arrived with some very chilly mornings! We are now heading into the last few weeks of Term 2, which also signals the end of semester 1 for our Online and Open Access subjects. Dianne Fitzgerald visited with the Year 10’s on Tuesday 23rd June and guided them in their subject selections for semester 2 in line with their career aspirations. Writing is our Site Improvement Plan priority and an area of the curriculum that is highly valued. Writing is a skill that is reinforced across all subjects and each teacher is aware that the strategies for improvement are emphasised in every lesson. Please ask your children what they have been writing about and encourage them to read their own writing to you to celebrate their achievements. Thank you to all parents for your continued support of the school as we continue to work through the Covid-19 challenges. The Premier has announced step 3 of the Covid-19 roadmap. This means we can prepare to ease some of the restrictions currently in place. From Monday 29 June, the following activities can resume providing government health advice and physical distancing requirements are strictly followed:

School assemblies

Class photos

All intrastate camps and excursions

School sport competitions, sports days and carnivals, including inter-school competitions (use of shower facilities is not permitted)

Inter-school choirs, bands and other performing art activities

School formals

Larger face-to-face professional learning activities. Requirements that remain in place

It’s important that students and staff stay home if they are unwell.

Physical contact (even between students) must be limited. Non-physical greetings should be encouraged.

The general public should not access school playgrounds or play equipment.

Parents must continue to physical distance, including at school pick up and drop off. Reminder: If you/your child are unwell, stay home so you don’t spread infections to others. The SA Health Stop the Spread webpage (https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au) has more information about preventing illness. Intra-School Events With the limitations of Covid 19 students have certainly been missing the interaction and physical outlet provided by sports carnivals and local community sport and events.

E-Safety As a site we have provided much education and support for students and families about remaining safe in the world of social media and digital access to sites. This is a reminder for parents to be vigilant with their children, who and what they are accessing and to have open and honest conversations about the risks and how to manage situations which may occur. The following link has some great resources and guidance for parents to access https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents Mid-Year Reports Reports will be sent home on Friday 3rd July, the last day of Term 2. I am sure parents and carers will be keen to see how students are progressing this year. I am privileged, in that I get to visit each classroom on a regular basis and see all the learning taking place. The teachers have planned and created rich, engaging learning environments where students are able to experience a variety of wonderful learning opportunities across the school. As Covid19 restrictions begin to ease soon we are looking forward to welcoming families back into the school to continue to strengthen our partnership. Don’t forget Early Dismissal on Friday 3rd July (2.15pm), so buses will be running an hour earlier. School re-commences Monday 20th July. Have a great week! Tony
