From the Deputy Principal — Pastoral Care
Mr John Rodgers
Deputy Principal — Pastoral Care
Like you I can’t believe how quickly the term has passed and just how many different activities we have crammed into it. A very busy term, but a welcome one when compared to the alternative of remote learning. A big congratulations to the Year 9 students as they have well and truly embraced ‘The Rite Journey’ program and brought their parents along for a significant ceremony. I look forward to seeing them meet the goals they have set.
As we prepare for Term 2 parents and guardians are reminded that winter uniform is back. May I suggest some practice with doing up ties takes place — it has been some time since we have had to wear one. Please be proactive with ensuring uniform fits properly before day one of next term (Monday 19 April). Again, it has been some time since the winter uniform has been required. Check our website for Uniform Shop information.
Wearing masks
Mr Louis Papadimitriou
Deputy Principal — Organisation
Parents and guardians are reminded that when travelling on public transport (including before and after school student bus services) — and while at stations and stops — students must wear a fitted face mask covering their nose and mouth and ensure they wear it for the entire journey. Wearing a face mask helps keep them and others safe.
There are exemptions for children under 12 years, individuals with breathing difficulties, and those who have physical conditions that make it difficult to wear a face mask. Find out more about the exemptions and follow the expert health advice on how to wear a face mask correctly. All passengers are being asked to do their part to stay safe on public transport. That means:
- maintaining physical distance from others where possible
- practising good hygiene such as washing hands often
- coughing and sneezing into your elbow or tissue
- staying at home if you are unwell, and
- getting tested for COVID-19 if you have the mildest of symptoms.
