Spring has sprung
Our creative collaborations in music and drama have kept the
creative juices flowing during this time when we are very
restricted due to COVID. Last week we had our new marching drum
delivered much to the delight of students who were very eager to
have a turn. Currently we are not dancing or singing in large
groups so the drum has been a hit. The famous Mongolian throat
singer, Bukhu, has now confirmed he will be coming to perform for
us on the 17.09.2020. Unfortunately, due to the current
restrictions around having parents on site, this will be an
internal
event for students only.
Apart from all our music and drama activities, we have had Chief
Paul back doing Yoga with the students. A reminder that we have
school photos coming up on the Wednesday 02.09.2020 and Thursday
10.02.2020. Please ensure your child is wearing their uniform for
their photo day. Walking safely to school is on Friday 11.09.2020.
We encourage students to walk all or part of the way to school on
this day.
Semester 1 reports have now been sent home. Teachers will be
available for interviews on Zoom or by telephone. Please contact
your child’s teacher via email to arrange a suitable time.
After consulting with parent focus groups, we have decided to
allow parents on site at afternoon pick up due to the danger from
the traffic on Loftus St. We are very appreciative of those parents
who are
wearing face masks whilst on site. The school gates are locked
between 10am and 3:20pm. Please phone ahead
if you need to come to the office. There is now an intercom on
the carpark gate to contact the office if you need to come on site
during school hours. Please only come to the site if your business
is
essential. We are starting to plan our transition program for
our 2021 Kindergarten stu-
dents. Hopefully Transition will run in term 4 from 19.10.20 to
29.10.20. If you haven’t already enrolled your child for 2021
please see page 15 for details. If you have already enrolled, you
will be contacted soon to make
arrangements. Transition will only proceed on site if COVID
restrictions ease next term. This has been a very tough winter
given all the stress in our community. Hopefully the warmer weather
will lift everyone’s spirits. Please be assured that our priority
is always our students and that they are having fun and learning
lots despite the chaos in the world around us. The staff would like
to say thank you for the support you have given us during a very
uncertain time.
