January 2021 – WEEK 1 – BHOOSH MURAL PROJECT

WHAT IS OUR MURAL PROJECT? In collaboration with Miguel Gonzalez and Beacon Hill Primary School, the children of BHOOSH will be contributing to the design and realisation of our School Mural Project throughout the January Vacation Care between Monday 4th and Friday 8th January. This process of engaging in the beginning stages of designing and creating a mural will be paralleled alongside our other various Vacation Care activities. The realisation of our mural will convey a strong message about the importance of students living in harmony with each other and their environment in order to develop their sense of belonging within the community. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS WITH MURALS IN SCHOOLS? By designing and engaging in the creation of a school mural, children will achieve results such as:

• Better engagement with the environment • Creating a sense of belonging and ownership with their school • Opportunities for them to think and reflect • Inspiration to be creative • Motivation to be involved • Inclusivity • Increased send of physical direction within their school space

All our selected activities and providers engaged have a covid safe plan and procedure in place to reduce risk and stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. All our Excursions will be in an open space and social distancing will be practiced at all the times and, the number of students on each group will be kept according with the current NSW Government guidelines for gathering in open spaces. We are asking all BHOOSH families to ensure they remain aware of the COVID-19 guidelines and are practicing the following:

1. Stay home if you are sick If your child is unwell, they should remain at home until symptoms clear up. Our Centre has the right to send any child home who appears as unwell to ensure the safety of those around them.

2. Get tested if you are showing symptoms If your child or anyone in your family has been tested for COVID-19, we ask that you please advise the Centre and keep your children at home until a negative result is returned.

3. Keep practicing social distancing Parents are only allowed to enter the Centre to complete sign-in/out processes

Parents are only allowed to enter the Centre and school grounds to complete the sign-in/out processes in the office upon arrival and at pick up time, we encourage everyone to keep practicing social distancing while in the qui If you have travelled to or suspect that you may have engaged with anyone from a COVID-19 hotspot, we ask that you declare this and self-isolate yourself and any other family members exposed to you to ensure you don’t affect the other children, parents and staff at BHOOSH. The parents of BHOOSH rely on our service and it is important that we share the sense of responsibility to protect our service from needing to be closed due to an infection. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
