Dear Community,

Thank you once again for your support surrounding COVID. We received new guidelines from NSW Health this week, which I communicated with you on Tuesday night. The new guidelines state that students or staff who are displaying flu like symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath, must be tested for COVID and not attend school until the test returns a negative result. This negative result must be sent into the office for filing. There is no directive that siblings of tested children stay at home. I am also no longer able to conduct face to face enrollment interviews, however, they can be held online. 

Year 3 are closer to moving into their new classroom. This should occur on Monday next week.  

On Tuesday night the School Community Council held its monthly meeting. The Council provides the opportunity for members of the school, parish and
Archdiocesan communities to support the mission of Catholic education in the school. Working with the Principal, Parish Priest and staff, the members of the Council and its committees provide leadership to the wider school community. We discussed holding an open meeting online in Term 4 and this will be announced closer to the date. I thank them for the work that they do.

Take care,

Grant
