WHOLE SCHOOL REFLECTION

Welcome to Term 2

A warm welcome to Term 2 to everyone in our school community. It has been great to see so many smiling faces returning to our school looking refreshed and ready to go!

Our Principal, Kel Innis, is away for the beginning of Term 2 and I will be Acting Principal during this time. We look forward to her re-joining the team as the term moves forward. Please feel free to contact me through the school office on 62 439 232.

We welcome Hannah Walters to our teaching team on Prep/1 in place of Stacey Price, who is on maternity leave. Hannah brings a wealth of experience to the role and knows the students well from her time with the class last term.

There have been changes to the COVID close contact classification from the beginning of Term 2.

Students who would previously have been considered Close Contacts are able to attend school if they meet the following requirements:

  • Are well and not showing any COVID symptoms
  • Have returned a negative RAT or PCR test when notified they were a close contact
  • Continue to test daily before leaving the house to attend school during the next 7 days

The school office has a supply of RATs that are available through the school office by request.  Maximising classroom ventilation is one of the measures taken by schools in the Department of Education place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. All practicable measures will be taken throughout the term to maintain warm classrooms and we ask that students come to school with a warm jumper or jacket. 

NAPLAN preparation is complete and testing for our Year 3 and Year 5 students runs from May 9-13. The learning data obtained from these tests are part of the suite of information used by teachers to help inform future learning.

Our football and netball Winter Sports Rosters begin this term for year 5/6 students and will run fortnightly. Further information and rosters will be provided to students involved and we are hoping for playable weather as often as possible.

The Water Safety Program for students in Years 3-5 will be up and running from June 14-24. This is a valuable opportunity for students to develop their water safety skills and will take place at the Clarence Swimming Pool. Further information to come for those students in these classes.

Thank you very much for the ongoing community support that helps us to create such a wonderful learning partnership between school and home. We look forward to another excellent term with our outstanding students.

Kind regards,

Shae Hickey
Assistant Principal
