The NSW Department of Education has decided that schools are safe for students to return full time from Monday 25th May. . Students will follow their normal timetable and will no longer be learning from a remote learning or online learning model.

School start and finish times return back to normal, starting at 8.50am for roll call. Students are to follow their regular timetable.

If your child is unwell, do not send them to school. If they are unwell at school the school will phone you, or your nominated emergency contact, and you will need to collect them immediately. Please make sure your contact details are up to date by contacting our office on 9628 2222. If this is the case, your child will need to stay at home until they are better and we advise you to seek medical advice.

Students who live with a family member in one of the categories identified as being at increased risk by the AHPPC should will attend school. Extra hygiene measures are being used to help with infection control.

Please phone the school if you need to discuss your individual circumstances.

Teachers will continue to follow normal school curriculum, with some adjustments for Years 7-10. Some activities cannot go ahead for now.

Monday 25th May will be Week A.

Yes, they should return their work booklets so that attendance during Phase 0 and Phase 1 can be counted.

Students should also bring their normal school workbooks with them at the start of the next phase.

Yes, starting Monday 25th May students will follow their usual timetable.

Yes, but these are likely to take a different and less structured form. This means that teachers may change the number and type of tasks and in some cases use observations and booklet work instead.

We will still report on student learning this semester. However these reports are likely to be less formal than usual, and focus more on student attitudes to learning, and a summary of progress in each subject so far, rather than precise grades and marks.

All students are required to be in full school uniform. This is especially important for safety and identification purposes. Uniforms will be available for purchase through the front office starting again in Week 3. Jumpers will be on special for $20 and jackets for $30 until the end of May.

Yes, our canteen will be open normal hours starting Monday 25th May (Wk A).

Unfortunately we are needing to limit the number of people on site and the interactions between our community, staff and students. Parents cannot be on site. This is so we can maintain physical distancing and a safe environment

Unfortunately we have had to temporarily suspend organised sport as well as ball games at break times. The oval will continue to be closed, and games such as handball, football and basketball will not be allowed during our next phase. However, students can engage in non-contact sporting activties. This follows NSW DoE Guidelines.

All inter-school activities (debating, sport competitions) are currently not allowed. This follows NSW DoE Guidelines.

Yes, however operations may be slightly different in terms of the number of students allowed at different times.

We have booked a photo catch up day in June, when we anticipate more students will be on site. However, this is still to be confirmed and it means that school photo distribution will be delayed this year.

We have several methods of communicating with our community.
This includes:
• Our school website
• Parent/carer emails
• School Facebook and Instagram pages
• Weekly updates on the two school signs
• A new Learning Hub we’re continually updating, which will be a central source for current information. The Learning Hub will be accessible through links on our school website and Facebook posts.

Staff will need to maintain physical distancing during the next phase, which will apply to both classrooms and playground areas. However, following AHPPC advice, students no longer have to practice physical distancing from other students. Staff still need to maintain physical distancing from staff and students.

Regular hand washing reminders will be given, and we have secured supplies of hand sanitiser which will be applied regularly. Enhanced cleaning will be conducted by our regular contracted cleaning staff, including during the day to clean and sanitise high use areas and learning spaces.

Please keep your child at home if they have any signs of illness. Students who develop symptoms or report feeling sick will be sent to the school office and will be required to go home and parents to seek medical advice.

Yes, our school counsellor service is still operational. Please contact the school office if you would like to speak to one of our counsellors or to arrange an appointment for your child.
