Return to school

The school is looking forward to welcoming the Prep to Year 4 students back to on-site schooling next week on Tuesday 26 May. The teachers are preparing to have your child/ren back in class, following a day of school closure on Monday 25 May. We excited to be able to have face to face conversations again and to see students catch up with their friends after weeks of working remotely. Please remember to send all of the remote learning packs, iPads and library books back to school with your child/ren.

We will continue to support vulnerable families and essential workers by offering on-site schooling to students in Year 5/6 who require this over the next fortnight. Please contact the office if you need to register your child to attend.

Please ensure you read the ‘Question and Answer’ notice sent via Care Monkey for further detailed information on the return to school procedures.

Remote Learning Interview

Last week, a number of our Year 3 – 6 students were interviewed by Mrs. Kimberley Powell, the Lutheran Education Victoria New South Wales and Tasmania (LEVNT) Education Officer for Learning. LEVNT are developing a tool to help schools reflect on their COVID-19 experience and grow from it. Mrs. Powell asked the students about their experience with remote learning including what they have missed, what has frustrated them, what they have enjoyed and what they have been surprised by. The students gave valuable insights during the discussion and will feature as part of a presentation that will be forwarded to Lutheran schools around Australia.

Uniform

When students return to school in the coming days and weeks, they are required to wear their full winter uniform. If you need to purchase any items of winter uniform, please make an appointment with Mrs. Vella prior to coming to school.

Year 5/6 Wellbeing Day

Remote learning has taken its toll on our community in many ways over the past weeks. Unfortunately the Year 5/6 class will not be returning to school next week, but will continue with learning from home for a while longer to meet the staggered return-to-school procedure outlined by the state government. In order to promote positive wellbeing, the Year 5/6 students were invited to school today to catch up with their teachers and class mates. We hope they had a wonderful day.
