PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE I would like to start this week’s newsletter by thanking staff, students and parents for your continued support

and flexibility at time that is uncertain and unprecedented due to COVID-19. I am endeavouring to keep

everyone updated with information as soon as it comes to hand.

Schools remain open The health advice on schools remains unchanged. Our Chief Medical Officers indicate that our schools should remain open for education provision at this time. The Government and Department are encouraging you to keep your child at home from today, Tuesday 24 March, to contribute to supporting the community response to COVID-19. The school’s doors will remain open for those students whose parents are in the essential services or who are vulnerable. As updated expert information comes to the Department, who are in constant liaison with NSW Health we will keep you informed of any impact on school operations. Supporting continuity of learning for all students Our staff have been working hard to develop a suite of learning resources and options for students to undertake from home. The Department has developed and will continue to develop resources and offer professional learning to help teachers with this task. Whether your child is at school or at home, the aim is for all students to access the consistent learning content provided by our school. This may mean sending work home, either with physical materials or by email, or by making use of one of our online platforms at our school. Support for students at home I encourage you to access the Learning from Home resource which provides practical advice to parents and carers on how to best create and support a productive learning environment in the home. I am definitely dubbing Coronavirus as the ‘fun police’ as we will be postponing our Colour Run that was scheduled to take place on the last day of Term 1. Our annual Easter Hat Parade has also been cancelled and the uniform shop and canteen will also be closed until further notice. It is imperative that you keep up to date with information, which is continually changing, through our NWPS Facebook page and Skoolbag App. Staff will also be communicating with students and parents through Google classroom, email and phone to ensure we stay connected as a school community as much as possible. Staff are preparing online units of learning and as soon as they are developed we will get them out to every student, with clear instructions on how to access online. Students that remain at school will be learning from the same units of work so no students will be disadvantaged. It is imperative that you inform the school if you cannot access the internet or have a device to work from so we can make alternate arrangements. Please do not hesitate to call the school on 69 213533 should you have any questions at all. Stay safe. Trudy Standley Principal PSSA REGIONAL CARNIVAL
