Transition Plans Week 8 and Week 9
The Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 children have transitioned well back to school this week. Thanks to the parents and carers who supported the children by waiting outside the school grounds.

We trialled exiting through the double gates but that caused a safety distraction at the crossing. The main entrance gate works well for the Preps and the Year 2's.

Next week, we will use the same entry gates but reduce to two entry and exit times. 
In Week 9, we will use the backyard gate in Dalny Road for the arrival and dismissal of the Year 3-6 children.
All children will enter the grounds and proceed straight inside to their classrooms.

Parents are asked not to linger on the footpath to prevent congestion for other families.

Children arriving via scooters or bikes can enter on their own through the church gate.

TeamKids will accomodate the staggered start and finish times through the main entrance gate.

The Preps will be dismissed in the following order at 3:15pm. Please collect the children through the main gate and exit through the church gate to prevent congestion at the entrance of the school.
  • Prep HB
  • Prep A
  • Prep Y
The Year 1's will be dismissed at 3:30pm in the following order:
  • 1K
  • 1H
The Year 2's will be dismissed at 3:30pm in the following order:
  • 2MP
  • 2V
Further updates will be shared in readiness for the return of the Year 3-6 children who commence back to school on Tuesday 9th June.

SRC Survival Tips #4
The #stpatsmbna SRC students share the ways that they have improved with their learning and organisational skills during Home Learning. How have you improved ?

Parent and Student Video Project (Time Capsule)
Following on from the interest in the SRC videos, I am planning a family project to capture the voice of our parents, carers and all children with regards to the time spent learning from home during isolation.
As the children transition back to school and parents back to work, I would love interested families to share their response to the following 2 questions.
The idea is to share your responses in a short video 15 -20 seconds long and email them to principal@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au

These responses will provide our staff with feedback and help us to make plans for your children going forward. I will compile the responses into a video and they will be shared with our community as well as be stored in a time capsule for the community to access in the future.

Here are the questions:
For parents and children in connection to supporting your family with Home Learning or your time as a family during COVID -19 isolation/lockdown.

  • What are you most proud of ?
  • What do you want to hold onto/continue with going forward ?
