Important: Safety around buses and crossings

Dear Parents and Caregivers

It is very important that we all demonstrate to our children how to move around buses and cross the road safely after school.  The bus drivers and school staff are becoming concerned with the number of parents and children crossing behind and in front of the buses or crossing the road very close to the crossings.

To avoid an accident, please use the crossing if crossing the road or cross beyond the white diamonds painted on the road away from these areas.  Please do not cross the road directly around the buses as it is not safe.

It may take a little more time, however, safety is important.

We appreciate your support and look forward to having everybody modelling how to behave safely around buses and crossings.

 

Alert Level 2 Update

Good morning everyone.
Last night you would have heard that we are going back into Alert Level 2 as of lunchtime today until midnight on Friday.
 
For now here are the main points:
 
1) School is still OPEN and running as usual with increased cleaning and health management.
 
2) If your child has cold or flu-like symptoms or is generally unwell keep them at home and notify our office of their absence.
 
3) A reminder if your child has an allergy or reaction to soap or hand sanitiser – please supply a soap that they can use.
 
4) We will once again be increasing the deliberateness of teaching and taking additional steps to ensure our children (and staff’s) personal hygiene practices are at a high standard and actively being supervised at key times of the day eg: eating, toileting etc
 
We will send out more detailed information later this morning to explain exactly what this means for our school eg: Site access, the physical distancing of adults on site etc
 
Remember…”We have got this!”. We have done it successfully before and we will do it successfully again as we work together.
 
Thanks
Patrice O’Connor

Remember to book an interview with your child’s teacher
