Dear Parent/Carer,
The end of Term 3 has been a busy one for our school and others throughout the state. We're happy to say that together we made it through what has been a constantly changing and sometimes difficult Term. We could not have done it without the commitment from all of our families who supported learning from home, and from our fantastic teaching and school staff. I want to thank you all for your efforts to continue to keep our school community safe - I know everyone has faced different challenges at different times through the Term.
I hope everyone enjoys a break over the holidays and is looking forward to the COVI Dsafe return to school sites that we are planning for in Term 4. Please read through the following updates before the start of the school holidays and don't hesitate to reach out for support or with any questions.
In Term 4, where stay-at-home rules are still in place but high community vaccination and low transmission conditions are met, students will return to school in a staggered approach for prioritised cohorts, with no mingling or on-site activities.
From 25 October 2021: Kindergarten and Year l and Year 12
From l November 2021: Years 2, 6 and 11
From 8 November 2021: Years 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
The return to school roadmap is subject to change depending on new information expected through the Public Health Order and additional advice from NSW Health. You can stay up to date with the most recent advice on our Advice for families page on the Department site.
Thank you again for your understanding and support. We hope you and your family enjoy a safe and very well-deserved break over the holidays. Please take some time over the break to check out our wellbeing resources for students and families. You'll find useful tools for mental health and Term 4 preparation. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can do anything to help you and your children to prepare for Term 4 or if you have any concerns about the return to school. I will be in touch again soon with further information and any updates for you and your children.
Yours Sincerely
Rod Cosier
Principal
