School Photos
School Photos will take place on Monday 8 March. Order envelopes were sent home with the students last Friday. The sibling order envelope is attached to the order envelope of the oldest child. Order envelopes are to be brought in with your child on the photograph day. Could you please ensure that your child is in their summer uniform (not sport) on the day.
The Compass school manager app, along with Facebook and our newsletter, is the main form of communication tool we use to let parents and carers know what is happening in and around the school. If you have the app installed on your phone or iPad, you should receive an alert when a News item is posted, otherwise you will receive an email. If you click on the alert and scroll down, quite often there is further information which relates to the item. If you experience any difficulty with the app, please contact the office.
Students presenting at sick bay
We have been advised by the CEDoW that if a student is absent or presents at sick bay with flu-like symptoms (as outlined by NSW Health below), a negative COVID clearance is required before they can return to school:
-
Fever
-
Coughing
-
Shortness of breath (difficulty breathing)
-
Sore throat
-
Loss of smell or taste
-
Please note: the requirement is for a COVID clearance
If your child has undergone a COVID test, could you please email through a screen shot of the message received from NSW Health.
Thank you for your support of this requirement due to the impact of COVID-19.
School Attendance
If your child is absent from school, could you please enter the details in Compass, with an explanation for their leave eg Travel, Holiday, Medical Appointment etc.
If your child will be absent for 10 days or more, there is a form (available from the office) which needs to be completed and approved by the Principal.
