Term 2 – Notices – Week 2

Dear Parents of Years 3-6,

As you are aware, the Cross Country Carnival for Years 3-6 is scheduled for this Friday. At the moment, the forecast for that morning is predicting rain. We have looked at a number of options, and have decided that the event will run as scheduled for the students. Just like most community sport (netball, soccer, football etc.) continues through the rain, we are going to push through with our event too.

It is important to note that children will only be out of class for a fairly short time, as each year group only attends the event to run their race. If it does rain, at the conclusion of each event, we will be allowing the children to get changed out of their sports uniform into their formal uniform. Please ensure to pack this, and a towel, for them on the day. Of course, if there is any dangerous weather, we will cancel the event. Students who do not come with a change of clothes will not be able to run, if the rain does come.

Also, with current COVID restrictions, please know that we are not allowed to have parents attending the event on school grounds. If you would like to park along Doveridge Drive and watch from the other side of the fence, that is perfectly fine. We would appreciate your support with this.

After two years of restrictions, let’s hope that you can all attend again in 2022.

Kind regards,

Jarrod Heglund

Parents and Guardians in Years 5 & 6

As per my email sent yesterday afternoon, the Years 5 & 6 excursions taking place this week have been cancelled.  Apologies if Consent2Go sent you a reminder, or still might.

Thank you.
