Principal’s Message PAGE 2

Welcome to week ten (and the

final newsletter for this term).

From next term we will be

recommencing the rostered

system for classes and

programs for the newsletter.

For this week we are including

some examples of student

engagement and learning

across the school as we

prepare for what will hopefully

be a nearer to normal term for

school operations. We are still

in the zone of heightened

hygiene vigilance and the

enhanced cleaning program at

this stage will continue

throughout term three. We

have had some students and

staff members with respiratory

illnesses who have been

referred for COVID testing but

thankfully they have all been

negative. If your child or a

member of your immediate

family is tested please notify

the school as we are required

to report student and staff

testing and then the results. A

reminder that if your child is

unwell, no matter how mild the

symptoms are, you are

required to keep them at home

until their symptoms resolve.

This is in order to reduce the

transmission of viruses which

could weaken immune systems

and is also applicable to staff at

this time.

Student reports are being

finalised today and will go

home this Wednesday. Once

you receive your child’s report

we request that you contact

your child’s teacher to set a

suitable time for a phone

meeting early next term to

discuss and set agreed goals

for semester two. Many of our

students’ individual goals will

either need to be rolled over to

semester two or adjusted due

to the interruption in school

operations this semester due to

COVID-19 although some

students still managed to

achieve one of their individual

program goals which is

amazing. We will continue to

regularly review the situation in

regards to the resumption of

some of our programs which

are currently suspended for

safety reasons with a view to

either gradually reinstating

some or explore new delivery

options as we are planning to

do for our work experience

program next term.

As you are probably aware the

NSW Government has

announced the findings of a

curriculum review for primary

and secondary students which

commenced two years ago.

This was the first

comprehensive review of the

NSW primary and secondary

curriculum since 1989, and

aimed to equip students for the

challenges and opportunities of

the 21st century and proposes

a new set of syllabuses to be

implemented in stages over the

next three years to be fully

operational by 2024. Exactly

what changes are being

proposed has not yet been

outlined but there is a

livestream this Thursday

afternoon for Principals which

will provide some clearer

information for schools and

families.

Thank you to all of our families

who have downloaded our

School Stream application.

Many families are regularly

using the student absence and

communication book forms. We

hope that this works well for

home to school communication

and we would welcome your

feedback on this in terms of its

ease of use and the information

it will enable you to send us.

School to home communication

remains via email for the

foreseeable future. If you have

not already done so please

download the School Stream

application as it will enable us

to notify you of any whole

school incidents that will

require immediate action such

as school closures or

emergencies.

Finally, a reminder that the

school term ends this Friday, 3

July and recommences for

students on Tuesday 21 July

as Monday 20 July is a staff

development day.

Art News

After being away from school for nearly the first half of this term, many students returned with

some fantastic art works that they had completed at home. The secondary students

concentrated on transforming 2D shapes into 3D shapes when creating iconic structures from

around the world. The primary students focussed on painting and gluing with sponges and

brushes to create various kinds of minibeasts.

On returning to school all the students continued to follow the art program they were doing at

home and here are some examples of their work.
