TRANSCRIPT
Dear Families 16 June 2020 In line with health advice, and changes to state and national restrictions, schools are successfully operating full time and many additional activities are now able to recommence. Schools are able to recommence the majority of school-based activities from either 15 June 2020 or the start of Term 3 (20 July 2020). Some activities are continuing to be considered. The school will continue to follow NSW Health guidelines and ensure;
existing infection control protocols maintain the health and safety of students and staff.
all activities permitted at school are safe and appropriate in a “living with” COVID-19 environment. School students do not need to follow strict adult physical distancing guidelines, but should follow good hygiene practices like:
o regularly washing hands o avoiding sharing drinks or food o coughing or sneezing into your elbow, or a tissue which should be discarded immediately.
non-essential adults are still not permitted on school grounds or at school events – this includes parents/carers unless specifically approved by the principal.
All adults maintain physical distance from each other (1.5m) including teachers and support staff, and parents.
school pick up and drop off arrangements enable parents to physically distance from one another and from staff.

Please also remember that families need to advise the school immediately if their child/children are being tested for COVID 19. We need to follow procedures around notifications of suspected cases and it is vital that we are informed if any student in our school has been tested. Please call the school office and
speak to Julie, Lindy, Jenny, Sharon or Sandra. There is a clear plan in place for schools to respond to any suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our schools. We are working closely with NSW Health and will communicate with parents if a situation arises. Have a lovely week. Nickie Bartlett Principal.

Please send envelopes with correct money (if paying cash) enclosed on Wednesday 22 July with your child to give to their class teacher. The office does not have change.
