CHILDRENS MASKS

Our thanks to parents for your support with this. We want to reassure you that we will manage this in the most proactive manner possible. To help provide some respite for students, staff will ensure they have Crunch n Sip during class time. The wearing of masks for lengthy periods, particularly for the younger years, may be a bit difficult in the early days so we have encouraged staff to provide a quick mask break by going outside. Some parents have asked about recess and lunch breaks while in the playground. If their activity is passive i.e. sitting outside library and reading, we would encourage mask wearing, but if students are actively playing, there is no need for a mask.
The following links may be valuable for parents who have students in Year 3 – 6:

MOBILE PHONE POLICY

A reminder that the school has a School mobile (Smart Watch) policy in place MOBILE PHONE/DEVICE POLICY
This dovetails with school devices policy.  We have had a few breaches, so we would appreciate all parents having a chat to your child about this.  Class teachers will also be reminding students.

DOGS ON SCHOOL SITE

Please remember dogs are not permitted on the school site. If you choose to leave your dog tied up while you come on school site to collect your child, please ensure it is not at any entry or exit points. We have quite a few students who are scared of dogs.
