From Melissa Boyle Principal
The Premier has announced that from Monday 11 May, 2020, students in Kindy, Prep, Year 1, Year 11 and Year 12 will be able to return to their school and community kindergarten.
Children of essential workers and vulnerable children will continue to be able to attend school for supervision.
For students in Years 2 – 10, the current home-based learning arrangements will remain in place. If low COVID-19 transmission rates continue, students in Years 2 – 10 will be able to return to school from Monday 25 May, 2020. Confirmation of this step will be made by 15 May 2020.
Term 2 learning has been very different for all of us. It’s nice to know that while we’re separated we’re still together.
We’ve put together a short video of our teaching staff, Separated but Together: https://youtu.be/9psZbLMlC_k

Many students have been sharing their learning from home:
- Thomas R, 3A, sent Mrs CRANITCH a PPT he made on cubes, 3D shapes was an area of learning for the week.
-
Jamie, 6C, has a terrific experimented he shared with Mrs Smith.
-
Emerson, 3B, shared her learning from home.
I loved seeing all of the Lego towers that were sent through to Mrs Abbot.

Workplace Health and Safety guidelines requires each school to engage in a drill for lockdown or evacuation each term. On Thursday, we had an evacuation drill, we successfully evacuated students and staff in 7.27 minutes.
These drills are critical to teach children what to do in the event that we needed to evacuate or lockdown the school.
Today’s growth mindset quote of the day …
