Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back to everyone in our school community. It has been lovely to see all of our students settling in quickly to the 2022 school year. Congratulations to our Prep students that have settled in amazingly well, and are continuing to demonstrate an eagerness and energy for their new school life. It has also been a delight to welcome our new Year 7 students that have displayed a positive transition into their secondary schooling. We also would like to express a warm welcome to the new students and families across other year levels at our school.
It has been a busy and unique start to the term with many changes for families and staff, and your willingness to take everything onboard is sincerely appreciated. Thank you to all our families and staff members for adapting and co-operating with the current COVID-19 safety practices, including completing daily Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT).
Please remember that if your student has the slightest cold/flu like symptoms please keep them at home and complete a RAT test. If your student tests positive, please notify the school as soon as possible. Hopefully you have all been receiving the daily COVID-19 communication via Compass and email. These are the best methods of communicating to our school community and keeping you all up to date about any positive cases onsite, along with supporting information of relevance. If you have not been receiving any communication from the school via Compass or email, please phone to let us know so we can update your details.
It has been lovely seeing so many students wearing our new school uniform. Their pride and joy at wearing a uniform that proudly represents their school is amazing. If you have not seen the new uniform stock, please call into PSW Uniforms located in Howitt Street, Wendouree. PSW is open every day, except Sunday’s, and the staff there can help you with any school uniform questions. Milestone school years such as grade 6 and year 12 have special jumpers or t-shirts that are organised through the school, not PSW, so if you have any questions about this, please contact you student’s teacher. The year 12 jumpers are currently being organised and information for year 12’s will be sent home with them soon.
In regard to changes in COVID-19 safe practices, for example when parents/carers can come back onsite etc, we will communicate with you as soon as there is anything to report. The Department of Education and Training Operating Guide comes out regularly, so as always, we will keep communicating with you when we have information to share.
If there is anything we can do to support you, and your student, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Pictured below are some photos of our new prep students. Take care and have a nice weekend.
Kind regards,
Principal Class Team
