Community Update #3.2

Let's continue to keep our families in extended quarantine in our thoughts and prayers. We also pray for all of the families in New South Wales and in other parts of the world affected by coronavirus.

We are grateful to the South East Public Health Unit (SEPHU) Contact Tracing Team and Public Health Officers for all of their hard work in following up clearances for our school community in an efficient and effective manner. In particular we thank Dr Simon Crouch and Professor Rhonda Stuart for answering all of our questions and being available to support and guide us through our quarantine period. We wish them well as they continue to keep everyone safe in the coming weeks.

Safe Entry into School 

Thank you to all of our families for your patience while we checked the children into school this morning.

Fortunately, apart from the children in extended quarantine, and those families awaiting their final clearance, everyone is able to return to school.

On Monday, the front and back gates will open from 8:45am until 9:15am.

We ask that the children DO NOT arrive before 8:45am and congregate early at the back yard gate.

School will finish at the usual time of 3:25pm.

We will return to our usual 8:45am - 8:55am entry time on Tuesday unless anything changes.
