Thank you to all parents and carers who are assisting us as we continue to engage in the battle with this virus. Last week both the NSW State Government and our Diocese of Maitland issued new guidelines around school attendance for sick children and the activities we are and are not permitted to engage in here at school. Some of these guidelines are hard to follow and at times inconvenient for us, but they have been made with the safety of all being considered. We ask that as a supportive community we work together to follow these guidelines, not blaming anyone or engaging in negative conversations around decisions that are at times beyond our control. Please continue to read COVID updates sent out by our Director Gerard Mowbray from the Catholic Schools Office. These updates are sent via COMPASS.

At school we continue to implement social distancing through having different lunch/recess breaks for staff and students alike. Our administration area is very compact, and staff and students alike are getting very good at waiting to walk through the area.
