Principal's news
Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues
It has been another week of pleasing COVID results for Queensland at least, and the Premier has announced some further relaxation of the restrictions in place. At school though, not a lot has changed in this regard, except that we can now meet as a school staff which is quite exciting for me. Please note that there is no change to mask wearing requirements on school campus by adults or students in secondary school.
Click here for the latest COVID planning framework. We are currently in Scenario 2.
Student free day
Please mark Friday 3 September on your calendar as a student free day. Students cannot attend school on this day.
Changes to before school arrangements
The changes outlined below begin on Monday 6 September.
We are making some changes to the before school bell routines to provide teachers opportunities for greater flexibility in their own morning routines. The changes are:
From Monday 6 September:
| Time | Activity |
| 8:00am | Supervision begins and all students need to either be waiting in the appropriate waiting area or involved in one of the before school activities. |
| 8:20am | A bell at this time will indicate that students should move to their classroom areas. Non-teaching staff will supervise students outside classrooms until the class doors open. |
| 8:30am | Classroom doors need to be open by this time for instruction to begin. Please note that teachers are not required to open their classroom before the 8:30am bell. Please contact me or your child's teacher if you have any concerns you would like to discuss. |
Our regular before school activities will continue as they currently are.
Solar power upgrade
Our solar power upgrade is progressing quickly and more than half of the solar panels have been installed. In total we will have 489 solar panels on five school buildings. This is really exciting as we will be able to demonstrate to our children, the importance of clean energy production for our planet.
The solar project has about another 4 weeks to go.
Have a great weekend and keep well
Kind regards
Vic
