Dear Parents and Carers,

Dear Lord, may I realise afresh today what Your resurrection means for me. Forgiveness, freedom, and the ability to walk with You. May I always find my satisfaction in You and Your willingness to offer Yourself to me. Amen

Welcome back to Term 2. I hope that your family had a blessed Easter with the chance to focus on the joy of the Resurrection (as well as the joy of chocolate eggs!). I also hope that the two week's break was a chance for your children to recharge their batteries.

I would like to pass on my thanks to the children, parents and staff who were able to join our school community in attending the Campbelltown RSL ANZAC Day March and Service on Monday, in very wet conditions. It was so pleasing to have so many join us on the day. As a school on Tuesday we were also able to hold an ANZAC service, with one of our parents who is an ex-serviceman, Mr Saunders, reading the ode. 

Staff Development Day (Pupil-Free Day)

I remind you that next Monday 2 May is a Staff Development Day meaning children do not attend school on that day. Our teachers will be engaged in a full day of professional learning about effective teaching and learning of Mathematics.

New windows and doors

During the school holidays we were able to have the windows and doors replaced in the Community Room, Art Room, Years 3, 4 & 5 classrooms. This has brought much more light into those rooms, and it is great that all windows are now able to open and close properly. The funding for this work came from the School Enhancement and Debt Servicing Obligation (SEDSO) component of the school fees.

COVID-Safe Measures

Earlier this week a notification was pushed out on Compass providing you with details about new regulations for close contacts. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact our school office.

During Term 1 we experienced days in which we had a number of students and staff unable to attend school which caused some significant disruptions. We hope that we are much less impacted by COVID this term. We are still focusing on good hygiene with the children, ensuring our classrooms are well ventilated and supporting the use of masks. You are reminded of the key message that if your child is unwell, they should stay home, get tested for COVID and only return to school when they are in good health.

Wishing you a happy and safe week,

Paul Moroney

Principal
