PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
COVID-19 News
You will all be aware that as of midnight last night the country has moved into Phase 3 of the Omicron response. This means that only household contacts of confirmed cases are required to self-isolate for 10 days. All other contacts of COVID-positive people are not required to isolate, but they will need to monitor for symptoms.
We are continuing to run with the health measures that have been in place - wearing face coverings, washing hands, using hand sanitiser etc.
Our Children are Awesome!!!!
What has continued to amaze me over the past three weeks is how resilient our children are. Wearing face coverings in the classroom is not easy but our children are wearing these without moaning or complaining. They are simply getting on with the job and their learning. This an awesome effort in difficult times.

Positive Behaviour Tau Cards - Week 3
This week in Room 5
We have had our last swimming lesson and all students should be so proud of their progress. Lots of resilience being shown at the pool. The students are being sun smart, wearing their sunhats on sunny days and also sitting in the shade when needed. As it’s officially the last week of Summer, we are enjoying being outside when we can. Room 5 know that if they need a friend, they can go to Jonty’s Buddy Bench, and someone will help them and play with them.
