What a fabulous restart to Term 2 it has been for our Prep to Year 2s. It has been absolutely fabulous to stand on the front gate each morning and see the smiling faces of the children as they say goodbye to the parents and carers and come into the school. Thank You Parents and Caregivers Thank you to all the parents who have been very supportive of the new arrangements saying goodbye to their children at the front gate and then departing the area. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this COVID 19 period. Social Distancing Social distancing has been in the media for quite some time now and I would just like to remind parents of how this relates to schools and the signage that we have around the school and on the gates. All adults need to social distance and remain 1.5 metres apart from each other. This includes parents who are lining up at the entry points to the school to drop off their children and pick them up at the end of the day. All teachers are also social distancing while at work and to that extent are working in hubs and have three separate staffrooms to ensure they can adhere to the 1.5 metre rule. With regard to the social distancing for the children, the Chief Victorian Medical officer has advised that schools do not need to enforce the 1.5 metre social distancing rules with children at this time. Precautionary measures have been advised and Coral Park Primary School has adopted those measures which include the following:
*Students washing their hands and hand sanitising on a regular basis before eating, going outside and returning to class after break periods or after going to the toilet. *Each year level having a separate area of the playground to play in during break times.
If at any stage we are advised to take any extra measures we will do so quickly and in accordance with the Department of Education and the State Government guidelines and procedures. Crossing Can I please ask that all parents and students use the school crossing when dropping off and picking up at the end of the school day. It is imperative for the safety of everyone that you cross safely and with the assistance of our crossing supervisors. To Our Coral Park Staff Thank you to all our wonderful Coral Park staff who have worked diligently to ensure that the children they teach have the best possible support and teaching available. Your effort has been enormous and for that I am truly thankful. Justin Thompson Principal

Staff are calling parents when their orders arrive and are letting you know when and where to collect these. Please answer these calls from school, as these staff will have very specific information for collection so we can maintain social distancing practices.
