PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Marvellous Merit Level Students Congratulations to Jayda Dalton and Philippa Sims who are our first students to reach Merit Level this year. Well done girls on a fantastic achievement! As we are unable to hold assemblies for the foreseeable future all student awards will be presented on Fridays during class time. COVID-19 As you may be aware the Secretary of the Department of Education, Mark Scott issued a press release outlining a number of measures that schools will take in relation to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The information can be accessed on our school website using the following link:

We are aware that this is quite an unsettling time with a lot of uncertainty. It is important to reassure students that these measures are being taken to slow the spread of the virus to enable our healthcare system to best support those people who are vulnerable to becoming very ill.

As a result all school excursions and a number of planned activities have been postponed until further notice. This includes:

• School assemblies;

• Off-site school sport including all District and Western trials and the school Cross Country;

• The Easter Hat Parade.

It is very important that all students and staff are following proper hygiene measures and we are actively promoting this at the school.

Our school will continue to follow the guidelines from the Department of Education and will update families with information as it comes to hand.

PRINCIPALS RECOGNITION

Thank you to Mrs Cashman for supporting our District Swimmers at the Western Carnival on Friday last week.

Working together as partners in the education of your child.
