Dear Parents and Carers,

The school has had a relatively settled second week of full student attendance. Some students are still adjusting to a regular school day format, but overall the transition back to school has been very successful. The before school drop off is going well with most students able to separate successfully at the school gates. The afternoon is improving, but we are still experiencing the following problems:

• The circular pickup of students at 3.15pm requires parents to turn right when they enter the North St gate and head up to God’s grass. Once the students see their parents, we ask the parent and child to make their way immediately down the bitumen driveway, not back down God’s grass.
• Once your child reaches your side, we ask you to exit the playground straight away.
• I ask parents to please observe the social distancing of 1.5 metres even when talking to another parent. Even if sitting on a seat waiting for students to leave their classrooms at 3pm, we ask social distancing of 1.5 metres to be observed.
• If parking in the car park across from school, please allow space for all cars to exit the carpark.
• Drop off zone on North Street - parents are asked to remain in their car when in this zone.

Australians have done an amazing job to avoid the widespread of COVID19, however we cannot become complacent. Please continue to remind each other about observing the 1.5 metres social distancing between adults.

During the last week, each class has learnt about and celebrated the Ascension, Pentecost and Sorry day. The students have engaged well in their class liturgies. We look forward to hearing news soon about the Sacraments.

Please take the opportunity to enjoy the June Long weekend. School resumes on Tuesday 9 June 2020.

Yours in Faith and Virtue,

Mr Christopher Paton
