FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH

Wow we are March already and almost the end of week 4 of the term.  As the mornings start to get colder please make sure jumpers are clearly labelled with your child’s name.  If it is one that has been given to you by another family please make sure their name is crossed out, so we get them back to the right owners.  If you are needing a jumper there are plenty for sale through the School Office and we have a number of second hand ones for a gold coin donation.

This morning during a meeting with all schools we were informed of the latest updates for the rest of the term.  The supports and requirements that are in place at the moment are to continue for the rest of the term.  LiL continues to be on hold but please connect with the Child and Family Learning Centre in New Norfolk.  Their March calendar is attached to this newsletter.

Mask wearing onsite is to continue and physical distancing and the restrictions of large gatherings are also continuing.  As I am sure you are all aware there continues to be a number of positive cases in schools throughout the state.  Be assured that if we have any positive cases directly connected to the school you will be notified.  We currently have some families in isolation due to close contacts and thank them for communicating this information with the School Office Staff.   If you have any concerns or questions please call the school and if any family members are positive it is essential you let the School Office know.

RATs – if you have used any of the RATs handed out please contact the School Office for replacements.  Unfortunately, if anyone in your household has symptoms you are not able to come into School to collect them then so it’s important you always have a couple on hand.

Our Goals for this Year.

Next time you are onsite drop by our whole school display board and read what goal each student has set for themselves this year.  We will check in with them throughout the year to see how they are going.  Thanks to Keema for the amazing way they are displayed. 

Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure Program.

This morning all our Kinder to Grade 2 students participated in the Diito presentation.  Each child is bringing home an activity book to share. Please chat to your child about what was presented today and if you have any questions talk with your child’s teacher.  For all the information about the program and lots more visit the Bravehearts website -  bravehaearts.org.au
