School newsletter Term 2 Week 2
5th May 2020
Dear Parents and friends,
As we begin week 2 of term 2, we can already see some great
learning happening in the school and home classrooms. I have had a
chance to read most students speeches and they are coming
together well. We look forward to hearing them this Friday during our
virtual festival of speech.
A big thank you to Stacie and
Mick from the Hermidale Hotel
for providing lunch for the staff
and students on Monday. Your
kindness and thoughtfulness
were very much appreciated
by us all.
Winter uniform – All students will need to wear winter school uniform to school when they attend.
Boys – Long grey school trousers, blue polo shirt, Navy round neck jumper with the school emblem,
grey socks and black school shoes.
Girls – Tartan skort, blue polo shirt, Navy round neck jumper with the school emblem, navy socks or
thick navy tights and black school shoes. Girls may wear Navy school trousers (Scraggs brand
available from Innovations or Brads wear)
Please note – jeans and leggings are not to be worn to school.
School shoes – Students must wear black leather school shoes or black joggers. School shoes are to
be lace up or buckles. No slide on canvas shoes. They become wet from the dew on the grass and
are not reliable when undertaking active play. If you need financial assistance to purchase school
shoes, the school has made some funds available. Please contact Kerrie.
Personal learning plan – we have term 2 PLP meetings scheduled for week 3. However, with the
current learning environment, I will ask that all PLP’s continue into term 2 with the next review taking
place early in term 3. Once students return to school, teachers will be able to celebrate their
achievements. As always, please contact me if you have specific questions regarding your child’s
learning.
Youtube – Please note that the Department of Education has enabled access to youtube via student
det login. So please monitor your child’s access and use of youtube. The school chrome books should
only be used during school time for school activities.

Term 2 planning
I will phone each of you tomorrow to consult with you regarding the plans
for our school to move into phase one next week. Please note – we will
remain in phase one until I receive further notice from the Department of
Education.
Some key information for you to know
Our school is ready to move into phase 1 which will see each student attend
school 1 day a week and undertaking learning at home on the other 4 days.
Families who need to send their children to school because they are
essential workers can continue to do so.
All students will be undertaking the same unit of work whether they are
learning at school or at home. We will continue to provide learning support
to all families and students.
Learning from home will remain an integral component of the phased return
to face-to-face teaching. When your child attends school, we will supervise
their learning, do some targeted reading sessions and complete part of the
History unit with them. They will need to bring their learning crate/box to
school on the day that they attend school.
Enhanced cleaning – our school will continue to receive the daily morning
enhanced clean that was occurring at the end of term 1. The school has
received an additional cleaning allocation to be undertaken during the day
from 11.30 – 12.30 and from 2-3pm. During this time, toilets, hand basins,
stairwell rails, external seating and tables will be cleaned.
Hygiene - All students and staff will wash their hands prior to entering the
classroom, prior to and after eating and after toileting. Hand sanitizer will
also be in the classroom for students to use as teachers deem necessary.
Visitors – No visitors are permitted at our school. Joss contractors are able to
come although they will need to answer some questions regarding their
recent travel and contacts. All parents will need to continue to practise social distancing practises.
This means dropping children off at the gate and not entering as well as refraining from having social
gatherings outside the school.
Changes to daily timetable for term 2 from week 3 - School will begin at 9am and conclude at 3pm.
Teachers will be onsite from 8.15am – 3.30pm. Those students who travel by bus will arrive as per the
bus timetable. Any other students attending school should not arrive at school before 8.45am.
This is important as we need the school clean to be completed prior to students arriving in the
mornings.

Dolly’s Dream is our 2020 School
charity. This Friday, May 8 we are
asking you to be a mate and be
kind. Plan something you will do for
someone at your house to be kind
to them and show them that you
care.
On Friday, you can tell us and post
a photo of the act of kindness that
you have done.
It’s great to be kind to others.
