Dear Families, I’d like to thank you again for the wonderful support you have shown our staff and students during this term with remote learning. We are so proud of the creativity and work that students have completed. We see some wonderful work being uploaded each day and appreciate the effort this takes for families. We are eagerly awaiting the return of students to school, beginning next week and can’t wait to see the students smiling faces in person.

A letter to families containing a lot of information outlining the plan and DET guidelines was sent out on Tuesday.

In summary: Monday 25th May Pupil Free Day

Tuesday 26th May Students in Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 will return to school. Tuesday 9th June Students in Years 3 – 6 will return to school.

Please ensure that any unwell students remain at home

• Buses will run as normal • Parents are asked to refrain form entering the school

grounds. Please call the office 55692241, at any time and we can assist you.

This is usually the time of year that we start school tours and enrolment procedures for 2021. As we are unable to offer on-site tours at the moment, we have made a virtual tour video, this can be found on our website and Facebook page. Enrolments packs were sent to Kindergartens last week.
