COVID19 Updated information for parents and carers 12th July

Dear Parent/Caregiver,

Further updates about our return to school for Term 3 is as follows: -

Term 3 will commence Tuesday 13 July

  •  Students are expected to stay home and work online with the school open (staffed by a skeleton staff) for supervision of the students where parents are working and cannot provide this supervision themselves at home. These students will also do their lessons online while at school – normal classes will not be operating.
  • NSW Health rules are that ALL students (and staff) must wear masks whilst indoors at school. Masks also remain compulsory for public transport. Visitors to the school must also wear musts and use the QR code when checking in/out.
  • The online learning timetable (attached to this letter) and instructions can be found on our website from Tuesday. Students will receive an email from each faculty with details on how to access their online learning lessons.
  • For students who do not have access to online learning, a package of lesson material can be requested via our front office – ring first to arrange a pickup time.
  • Should the lockdown be extended we will be loaning technology to Year 11 & 12 students to enable them to continue with online learning. Once these students have access, we will arrange help for students in other years where needed – more details to follow when the situation with COVID becomes clearer.
  • Students in the Support Unit will receive individual packages of work. These packages will be available at the front office to pick up from Tuesday morning (13 July).
  • Non-essential visitors to the school are not permitted, parents should contact the school via phone (9622 7300) for any enquiries.
  • All school facilities are closed to community users until further notice.
  • The school Canteen is closed until further notice.
  • We are not permitted to run any extra-curricular activities including sporting events until further notice.
  • Parent/teacher interviews for 13 July and 14 July have been cancelled.
  • Year 12 Trial Exams have been postponed again and will now be held in Weeks 5 & 6 of this term. Another new roster/timetable is being issued to Year 12, but please note that at this stage we will commence our HSC Trial exam period on Monday 9 August.
  • Students completing major works are still required to complete these. Year 12 students can contact their Visual Arts Teachers or their Industrial Technology Timber teacher to arrange access to the art rooms or workshops during next week and during the Trial Exams.
  • Music students needing to rehearse their performances can plan with their music teacher to come into school and rehearse in our music studio – this is by appointment only.

Please keep an eye on our website or Facebook page for any changes.
