COVID Update – Events and celebrations are back!

Last week we received updates from Catholic Schools NSW as to what is now permitted in our schools around the new COVID normal.

So……

• Birthday cakes are back – please send in individual cup cakes to assist in the sharing and safe celebrations.
• Parents can attend assemblies and liturgies – QR sign in at Church gate and hand sanitizer, plus social distancing.
• Mother’s Day celebrations- Friday May 7 Liturgy at 9:30 in the hall followed by a cuppa and a chat – yes, we socially distance and use sanitizer before we eat.
• Catholic Schools Week – Wednesday May 5 - Open Classrooms 12:30 – 1:30 followed by BYO picnic afternoon tea in the playground and Liturgy in the hall at 2pm.
• Kinder 2022 interviews are again face to face. Letters and invitations have been sent out to prospective enrolments.
• End of Term 2 Parent/student/teacher interviews are face to face. Set aside Wednesday June 23 afternoon and evening for this catchup. Times and bookings will be available later in the term.
• Canteen can again be up and running. Volunteers needed. Please contact the school if you can volunteer.
• Volunteers can assist with reading etc in the classrooms. Please contact your child’s teacher to see where you can help.
• Afternoon parent pick-up will continue to be on the grassed area outside the Church gate. This allows parents to socially distance as they wait, and doesn’t require QR code signing in.
• If parents do come on site to pay accounts, order uniforms or pick up students early, please continue to use the QR code at the Church gate or at the front desk.
• If children are off sick with flu like symptoms – fever, headache, sore throat, runny nose, they will still need a negative COVID test to return to school.
