Winter is the time of the year when many of us suffer
from colds and flus. This year, we continue to have the
added complication around COVID 19.
Congratulations to all our children who are working so
hard for all their teachers throughout all the changes
each day. I am so very proud of the way that the
children are focusing on quality respect and
responsibility. Well done.
A great number of children have been absent due to
illness so far this term, please make sure that a note is
sent to the teacher, with an explanation for absence,
when your child returns.
The school is receiving additional daily cleaning.
Throughout the school day there is enhanced
cleaning of high-touch areas and other hard surfaces,
including door handles, light switches and handrails.
There is also additional cleaning of toilets and the
topping up of supplies like soap. The school has a
good supply of soap, hand sanitiser, toilet paper,
paper towels and disinfectant wipes. Let’s stay healthy
and attend school every day.
Remember our school attendance mantra:
Missing school is missing out.
