| Dear Parents and Carers:
This week’s announcement from the Premier has clear directives on some changes we must now make to the school experience for our Secondary School. Please note the following amendments to our school activities. These restrictions will be in place until further notice to minimise the risk of COVID-19 entering or being transmitted on school grounds. Masks If you have a child in Year 7 and up, please ensure they come to school each morning with a mask. Having a spare mask in their bag is highly recommended. Whilst we have a small reserve of masks for students who have a breakage across the day, it is our expectation that you equip your child with all they need to follow health directions at school. Practicing good personal hygiene at all times is imperative. Camps Our upcoming Year 7 and 8 Camps have now been postponed. These were scheduled to take place from the 23 – 25 of February. It is our intention to revive these experiences for our students later in the year, conditions permitting. Choirs, Bands, Guitar Ensembles and Orchestras No musical ensembles will be rehearsing face-to-face, until notified otherwise, or until alternate arrangements have been made and communicated through the Music department. Parents on Campus Our directive is that gatherings of parents on school sites should be avoided. Can parents please limit their presence on campus to drop offs and pick-ups only, or to visit the Uniform shop. Please remain in your car for pick-ups and do not enter Student Services. Students leaving or arriving must exit the school by signing out through Student Services as usual. Please use the AbsenteesDuncraig@ststephens.wa.edu.au email to advise the school of any absence, late arrival or early pick up. All planned parent events will either be cancelled, provided to students in class or provided online, and specific information about already advertised events will be both emailed and included in the Secondary Newsletter. Parent meetings with staff should be conducted over the phone. Should you have any queries around these recent directives, please do not hesitate to be in touch with us. Regards,
Secondary Leadership Team |
