SRC

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the

students who have represented their classes being SRC

representatives from the start of the year until now. This week,

classes will be running elections for two students to represent their

class for the remainder of 2020.

Covid-19 Update

Schools are operating full time while actively following health advice.

Schools continue to be safe, and operations are in line with Australian Health

Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) and NSW Health advice. All students should

be learning at school unless they are unwell or have a medical certificate to support

their absence.

The activities that are permitted at school will be conducted in a way that is safe and

appropriate in the current environment. Those that remain on hold will be reviewed

during the term and will recommence when appropriate based on health and other

relevant advice.

Please refer to Class Dojo School story or this following website;

https://education.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/advice-for-families#School1 for the 17th August update.

Book Week

I am very excited about one of my favourite days of our school year! I am desperately

trying to find an outfit that reflects one of my favourite books to wear on Thursday the

27th August. Maybe I can borrow Mr Dougherty’s famous pirate costume. A big thank

you to Miss Phillips for organising our very first Book Fair website, which will open this

Thursday so that students and parents can look over available books before they go

on sale.

Education Week Raffle winners

Congratulations to our winners of the Education Week raffle. Students received tickets

through the week for demonstrating school values. The raffle was drawn at the Silver

Assembly. Infants winner: Imogene Stokes and Primary winner: Chase Slattery.

We are an amazing learning community and thank you for your continuing support.

From the Principal

Yours in Education
