In accordance with the State Governments Roadmap out of Lockdown we have commenced a staggered return to onsite learning this week. We were so pleased to welcome our Foundation students back to school on Monday morning and look forward to other students joining us in the coming days and weeks.

Students from other grades will return to school according to the table below.

Grades	Week Beginning Mon 18th Oct	Fortnight Beginning Mon 25 Oct to Thu 4 Nov	From Friday 5th November
Foundation	Monday to Wednesday	Monday to Wednesday	All students return to Onsite Learning

REMOTE LEARNING: Remote Learning will continue for all students in its current format on the days they are not scheduled for Onsite Learning.

ONSITE SUPERVISION: Permitted workers can access onsite supervision in the same way as usual on the days their children are not attending Onsite Learning.

FACE MASKS: Face masks are now required to be worn indoors by all students in Grades 3-6 whilst on school premises and if travelling to and from school via school bus. For students in grades F-2 this is not a requirement but is recommended by the Victorian Chief Health Officer.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide prospective families with school tours or face to face interviews due to current restrictions however we are continuing our Foundation enrolment process in preparation for 2022.

If you or anyone you know are wishing to enrol your child for 2022 please contact the office on 5997 1653 to obtain an enrolment pack and to book a phone interview at their earliest convenience.

A First Eucharist Workshop, for 2020 and 2021 candidates and their parents, will be held this Wednesday 18th August, at 7pm via Zoom.

Following the success of the previous First Eucharist Workshop another has been planned for this Wednesday for those families who were unable to join us last week.

Mrs Bernadette Hance and Mrs Leonie Hester will host this Workshop during which candidates will be asked to confirm their commitment to the preparation of their First Eucharist.

Families will be provided with a link to join the meeting via Seesaw or an email.

We are so pleased that families and staff have embraced technology to allow us to meet and continue preparations towards candidates receiving their sacraments this year.

Following the Premier’s announcement yesterday of a further extension of the current lockdown and additional restrictions being imposed, we acknowledge that this continues to be a challenging time for our school community.

We appreciate your support during this time as we all do our best to stay healthy, safe and positive. Remote learning will continue. Please be kind to yourselves, complete your child/children’s work around your work day if need be, take a break and do something fun when needed.

For those families requiring on-site supervision for their children, please note that work permits have been re-introduced and there is an updated form available on the Victorian Government website.

We are here to help but we are also governed by the current restrictions so please email your child’s teacher to discuss any concerns, or if unsure of who to contact, give the office a call. Ph: 03 59971653

A list of staff contacts is provided in Letters to Parents as emailed regularly.
