Dear Parents:
Congratulations and thank you to everyone — parents, stu-
dents and staff, for managing home learning during COVID19.
It is vital to keep following the guidelines to ensure that we all
work together to beat this health crisis.
REMEMBER: only do as much school work as you can to suit
your family circumstances.
Yes, it is a serious world wide crisis, however, there is a light-
er side—see the funny photos from some parents as they
home school this week.
Please drop off/return first learning pack by Friday 1st May of
week 2 for marking and checking. A new pack will be ready
for pick up.
When school resumes again we will have 43 students at The
Gums. This week we have enrolled Kaleb (yr2), Noah (yr3),
Liam and Hannah (yr6). On behalf of all the students, staff
and parent body we welcome these families to our school
community.
Thanks Ros Bougoure PRINCIPAL
Each parent please call absentee line/
answering service on 46 659 236 every
day by 10am if your child is learning
from home.

At Home Learning!
Given the uncertain times and social distancing
requirements, the P&C Executive have made a de-
cision to cancel the April meeting.
The aim is to have a meeting in May (Wednesday
3rd), it may be a virtual meeting using an elec-
tronic platform. More details to follow in the
coming weeks.
ALL at home learning materials are due to be returned to school for
marking by Friday Week 2 (1st of May).
When your children’s packs are dropped off at school, a new scrapbook
with week 3 and 4 learning materials will be ready for collection for each
student.
It is vital that where possible, students who are able to learn from home do
so. We do not want to create a potential situation where the health of
students and staff is compromised. If there is a responsible adult at home,
students should be learning remotely.

Dear Parents,
When we get your children back to school, we will get them back on track. We are the teachers and that is what we are trained to do. What we cannot fix is the social-emotional trauma that prevents a child's brain from learning. So right now, we just need you to share your calm, share your strength and share your laughter with your children. No child is going to be ahead . No child is going to be behind. Just do what you can in your life. Stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy. We will take care of the rest when the time comes.
Yours sincerely,
Teachers of the world
At Home Learning!
