Message from our Principle Mrs Jo Wernecke
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back to school all students, staff, families and community members for what should be another rewarding school year. This is a particularly exciting time for all concerned, especially for our Prep students, new enrolments and their families. We look forward to working with you throughout the year to ensure that your child has a rewarding school year.
Please join me in welcoming Mr Chris Goodwin (teacher), Ms Maree Stephens (teachers aid), Mrs Dee Daniel (business manager/admin)Ms Carolyn Bourke (school cleaner) and Mrs Jacky Rainbow (administration assistant).
Health and Safety
To keep our community safe, students and staff must not attend school if unwell or have COVID 19 symptoms. If your child is unwell they must be kept at home. This includes a runny nose, coughing or sneezing, children who are deemed unwell by staff will be sent home. If a child is to become symptomatic while at school they will be isolated until the parent or caregiver can collect the child. The child will be sent home with a RAT kit to administer at home.
If a child or staff member tests positive they will need to follow the Queensland Health quarantine and health requirements.
If a child or staff member tests negative and are symptom free the staff member or child can return to school.
Starting the Year Well
Arriving on time
Parents can assist by ensuring that children are at school on time every day. Even 10 -15 minutes two or three times a week means that students may miss up to 30 hrs or more. This equates to one week of learning over a year. Generally the most successful students are well organised. Arriving late can also be socially difficult for students as they feel isolated from the class when everyone else knows what is happening.
A reminder that children arriving late need to be signed in by a parent.

*Consent Form: If a yellow page is attached to the newsletter this page will need to be signed by the parent or caregiver and returned to the school.

Homework Consent Form
