CONGRATULATIONS
Well done to our Assistant Principal, Anita Osavkovska, who has successfully picked up an Acting Principal position at Thomastown Meadows for the next three weeks. Anita will be based at TMPS and
her work here will be ably completed by Katrina Lamers who was chosen to step up in Anita’s absence.
Katrina is very experienced in her own right, having returned to Epping Views after a stint as an Assistant
Principal at Fairfield Primary School.

WHERE IS PAULINE?
Lots of students have been enquiring about Pauline’s whereabouts. She is currently on leave for medical
reasons due to a pending knee operation. At this stage I will be Acting Principal on her behalf for the next couple of weeks. I will keep the school community informed of any change to this plan. We all wish
Pauline a speedy recovery and eagerly await her return
to school.
MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT
Last night’s Meet the Teacher night was a success with 820 students represented by their parent or guardian.
It is always an extremely valuable sharing of information between families and teachers. Thankyou to those who made the time to invest in your child’s education in 2020. Please contact me directly if you require any follow up from the interactions last night or even if you wish to share any positives from your
experience with your child’s new teacher.
LUNCHTIME CLUBS
Our clubs program have recommenced and there are many options for your children to choose from.
Personally I have been involved with the Indoor Soccer
Club, Lego Club and Computer Club this week and they have been very popular. Please promote these
with your child if they seem to be looking for different
playtime opportunities.
PLAYGROUP
In another initiative to support our families, I draw
your attention to the Epping Views Playgroup that runs every Wednesday at 9:30am to 11:00am over at the
Epping Views Kindergarten. Open to children aged 0 to
5, it is a great way to meet new
people/parents and an excellent developmental step for infants. Sessions are
facilitated by Amanda who is one of our experienced Early Childhood educators. It
would be great to see Epping Views families with young children, take up the offer to
join us there. Participation is free!
Keep your hands and feet to yourself. Everyday Counts.
Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Re-Think We don’t swear at Epping Views!

School Mantras
Information from the Nurse
There has been a confirmed case of chicken pox in our school. If you child is showing any symptoms please see your Doctor.
1) Medication at school
Any student required to take medication at school will need to provide medicine in original packaging/ labelled with child's name and grade. Parent's or carer's will need to complete and
sign a "Medication Administration Form" available from the school office. This form is required for all medicine including antihistamine for hay-fever, pain relief
medicine, antibiotics, skin ointments, eye drops etc. and a new form for 2020 is required. This form is not needed for Ventolin for Asthma if a current Asthma Plan has been provided to
school.
2) Unwell children If your child is unwell with a temperature please keep them at home until resolved
If your child is vomiting they will need to be excluded from school for 24hrs after last episode If your child has diarrhoea they must be excluded from school until there has not been a loose
bowel motion for 24hrs.
3) Action and Management Plans All children with Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Diabetes, Epilepsy or other significant health issue will
need to supply a new Action/ Management Plan for 2020 signed by their doctor or paediatrician. Please ensure this is brought to the school office or the school nurse as soon as
possible. This will ensure we provide the best care possible for your child while they are at school.
Thank you for your support and cooperation. Please direct any questions to school nurses
Stacey Morris and Adriana Cargin.
Coronavirus UPDATE
INFORMATION FROM DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The Australian Government has advised that there is no cause for alarm with respect to the
coronavirus and that the risk to the Australian public remains relatively low.
Everyone can protect against infections by practising good hand hygiene and respiratory hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing with a tissue, or cough into your elbow,
dispose of the tissue into a bin and then wash your hands afterwards. Wash your hands
regularly, after using the toilet, and before eating.
Exclusion of well children or staff from school who have travelled to China, or any other areas where
there have been reported cases is NOT required, unless the following applies:
the person is a confirmed case of novel coronavirus; or
the person is a close contact with a confirmed case of novel coronavirus in the past 14 days.
Any family that has travelled overseas in these school holidays, we ask you to please advise the
office as soon as possible.
The latest recommendation from DET is: That parents/guardians/carers should ensure that any student returning from mainland China (not
including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) who was in mainland China on or after 1 February 2020 is
isolated at home and should not attend school until 14 days after they were last in mainland China.
This recommendation does not apply retrospectively. It applies only to students who were in
mainland China on or after 1 February 2020.
Our school Nurses, Stacey and Adriana, will be advising students and families on any additional medi-
cal advice required.
