Covid, Colds and Flu

We are well and truly into that time of year when people are getting sick. We are experiencing an increase in reported Covid-19 cases throughout Victoria and our school community. Please keep your child home if they have any cold and flu like symptoms, even if your child is testing negative, they are required to stay at home until symptom free. If your child tests positive, please ensure they stay home for at least 5 days and they are no longer symptomatic. We appreciate your support as these steps will help us all stay well.

 

Walk to school day 

Walk to school is THIS FRIDAY 

We still need some helpers for the day to run smoothly.

We need: 1 car escort and 2 cooks and donations of eggs please

Please contact the school if you are able to help with any of these.
