Week 8 Term 1 Wednesday 17 March 2021
Respect, Responsibility and Excellence
Dear School Community, Welcome to Week 8! Thank you to family
members who attended our BBQ breakfast and
yarn, parent information sessions and Individual
Planning Meetings.
During the middle of Term 2 we will be holding
parent/teacher interviews for all students to
discuss your child’s progress as reflected in
Semester One reports.
Guitar lessons
Welcome back to Mrs Wendy Hood who is able to
resume guitar lessons. Last week was the first
lesson and the students should be proud of their
listening skills! Wendy is shown below with students
from Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 who
thoroughly enjoyed their first session.
COVID update Week 8, Term 1
We are happy to announce that Parents and
Carers are now able to enter school grounds. If
you wish to do so, please abide by the
following:
• Parents and Carers wishing to enter
school grounds, may only enter through
the office gate, located on Findon Street
(where you will find witches hats to help
guide you to the correct gate).
• Proceed straight into the school office
and scan the QR Code, sign in in and
show a staff member when completed.
• Before school - Parents and Carers must
leave the school grounds when they hear
the music playing.
• In the afternoon – Parents and Carers
may enter school grounds after the bell/
gates are opened. Again, Parents and
Carers must abide by the sign-in
arrangements. Following this, Parents and
Carers are not permitted on school
verandas. Should you need to speak with
your child’s teacher, prior arrangements
can be made via the school office.
• Alternatively, parents can kiss and drop
their child/children at the school gates.
This promotes and encourages
independence, social skills, resilience, less
disruption to students and classes and
follows school routine.
Kindest regards,
Sharne Turpin
