Important message from the principal re gradual return to school in term 2

Wednesday 22^nd April, 2020

Dear parents / guardians,

The return to school announcement by the NSW Premier yesterday means a gradual return over Term 2 from the 11^th May. This will allow social distancing procedures to occur with some students not necessarily being taught by their regular Teacher.

Two staff development days are scheduled next week for Monday (27/4) and Tuesday (28/4), these are pupil free days. From Wednesday 29^th April – Friday 8^th May the school will be open for vulnerable students and children of essential workers.

From Monday 11^th May students will be rostered for one day a week and then two days a week from Monday 25^th May. A full return of five days will occur on Monday 8^th June under social distancing procedures. It is envisaged that normal class structures will occur from Monday 22^nd June. Any spike in the COVID-19 curve could adjust this time schedule based on NSW Government directives.   

Online learning will continue for students during the days they are not attending school. The rostered student timetable will be developed next week and posted on our school website, Facebook and Sentral Portal.  

Please reach out to the school if you require any further support or assistance next week. Students working from learning packages should have their work ready for teacher feedback next week. You will be notified of handing in of work procedures early next week.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Toaetolu
