End of term NEWSLETTER

Message from the Principal Dear parents, staff and students,

Phase 4 - Easing of Restrictions On Monday 22nd June, the WA Premier announced details of the remaining phases of Western Australia’s Roadmap for easing restrictions. Phase 4 will commence on Saturday 27th June and will come into effect at schools on Monday 29th June. In this phase, gathering limits will be removed but will still be determined by WA’s reduced 2sqm rule. It is essential that we all continue to keep up with physical distancing where possible.

With the further easing of restrictions, it is anticipated that from Term 3, we will be able to resume events such as assemblies, sport carnivals and Jump Jam. In addition, the Commonwealth Bank School Banking Program will also recommence next term. These are very encouraging signs that we are getting closer to the ‘normal’ that we are all used to. Although what we have experienced during COVID-19 has been difficult at times, there are some changes that are positive and should remain in our daily lives. Good personal hygiene has proved to better protect ourselves and the general health of the community. Handwashing routines will still be encouraged in classes and students will be reminded of the etiquette of coughing and sneezing. Congratulations and thank you to our school community for working together to keep us all safe.

Student Reports Semester 1 reports will be sent out to parents via Connect next week. Once in Connect, your child’s report will remain there for the duration of their enrolment at our school. Parents are reminded that due to the interruption to the school year, reports will be modified. Teachers will not be providing A to E grades for learning areas, will not be reporting attendance data but will be providing a general comment for each student.

Student Councillors Students who expressed an interest in these leadership positions have over the last few weeks worked hard designing posters and yesterday they delivered their election speeches. All students performed exceptionally well and I wish them all the very best. New Councillors and Faction Captains will be announced at the start of next term. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our Semester 1 Councillors and Faction Captains for their invaluable contributions to the running of our school.

School Board School Boards play an important role in contributing to good school governance so that school resources are used efficiently and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students. School Board members serve an important role by lending their skills and expertise to contribute to the success of our school. We currently have up to two parent positions vacant on our School Board and have opened nominations to our school community. If you would like to consider a position on our Board, nomination forms are available from the front office or via our school website. Please return these forms by Friday 3rd July.

Unwell Students Parents are asked to please keep their child at home if they are unwell or has cold/flu-like symptoms. Students who present as being unwell during the school day will be sent to the office and parents will be called to collect their child. Students should not return to school until they are well or have clearance from their doctor. Given the current climate and the concerns with COVID-19, it is essential that we work together to keep everyone as healthy as possible. Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Room 11 I would like to officially welcome Mrs Kelley Watson who is teaching in Room 11 while Miss Gillespie is on maternity leave. Mrs Watson has already established a great relationship with the students in Room 11 and is continuing with the programs set for the class. On June 11, Miss Gillespie had a baby boy. Both Miss Gillespie and her baby boy are well and we wish them every happiness as a family.

Enrolments A reminder that enrolments for 2021 are still being accepted for all year levels. Parents of our current Kindergarten students are reminded that they are still required to re-enrol their child for Pre-Primary next year. Thank you to those parents who have returned forms. Enrolments close on Friday 24th July. Parents will be notified in writing regarding the status of their application. If your child is not returning to East Beechboro Primary School next year, please advise the office of their destination.
