Principal’s Update

Dear Parents/Carers,

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all members of our school community for continuing to work together and follow the advice from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to ensure we all stay safe and healthy.

We are all looking forward to a nice, relaxing holiday, albeit with social distancing and hygiene practices in place. I hope all families take the time to really relax and enjoy each other’s company after such a tumultuous Term 2. Teachers, students and families were all thrown into remote learning overnight and we all deserve a well-earned break and holiday. We look forward to starting Term 3 refreshed and ready to take on lots of new learning that will build on the improvements we made as a result of remote learning experiences.

REMINDERS:

• Student reports are now available on the Sentral parent portal
• Last day of term finish time: 2:30pm
• Monday 13^th July is a Curriculum day (no students at school)
• Tuesday 14^th July is the first day of Term 3 for students
• Please remember to stay safe and follow the DHHS guidelines and advice
