Community Update #12 Welcome Back to Year 3,4,5 6


Thank you 
Thank you to all parents and carers for your support of the Home Learning programme and for ensuring the children transition back to school well. Our Preps, 1 and 2 children have got off to a great start back at school. Thanks to our teachers who have supported the transition so well.

On Tuesday 9th June, we welcome back our Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children. The onsite SRC reps have prepared a short video with a few safety tips. It's important that you watch this video and talk about the safety tips with your children. It's also important that you understand the staggered start times and different entry points for all children to ensure we all keep safe and well.

SRC #6  Safety Tips for Everyone at School
Staggered Start Times
The staggered start times will continue. Please note that the Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children must not enter or exit through the front gates. They must use the back yard. The gates will be opened in the morning and the afternoon.  Year 3 and 4 children enter the grounds at 8:45am and finish at 3:15pm. The Year 5 and 6 children enter at 9am and finish at 3:30pm. Alternatively, the children enter at the same time as their youngest sibling through the gates for their year group. All gates will be labelled.

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 especially around the entrance gates.
Children arriving via scooters or bikes can enter on their own through the church gate.
Reminder to Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 parents/carers:
The front gate is very narrow. Please collect the children through the front gate and exit through the church gate to prevent congestion at the entrance of the school.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

School Cleaning
As well as the normal school cleaning that takes place after school, we have extra cleaning for four hours during the day. All of the high touch surfaces including table tops, seats, door handles, bathrooms and hand rails are sanitised twice daily. The play equipment is cleaned on a daily basis.

School Fee Assistance
As mentioned in the school newsletter - Mid Holiday Community Update April 4th 2020 fee relief is available for families who need it. You can access the message through this link.

New facts about school fee assistance for Catholic school families in Victorian schools:
Families on JobKeeper are able to apply for a Health Care Card which then provides opportunity for fee relief - must apply before the end of Term 2.
Families on a Health Care Card and CDF assistance receive discounts on excursions, camps and sporting activities.
For further information, contact your school to find out if you might be eligible for fee assistance. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these arrangements or any further support with regards to school fees, please do not hesitate to contact our principal.
