Principal’s News….

At South Street Primary School we grow people who: Are creative, curious and independent learners. Are resilient and problem solve when faced

with challenges. Respect and care about themselves, each other and the world in which we live.

We acknowledge the Gunai Kurnai people as traditional

owners of this land and pay our respects to elders both past

and present.

Snippets

There will be no school this Monday 8th June

Next Tuesday, 9th June will see the return of our 3-6 children.

We can’t wait to have the children back at school.

Due to current restrictions, we will not be running Breakfast Club or Canteen for all of term 2. This will be evaluated towards the end of this term and more information will be provided when we receive further advice.

Thank you for your understanding.

Drink Bottles

All children are required to come to school with their own drink bottle as all drinking taps are out of use.

EXTRA CLEANING &

GOOD HYGIENE

To support the health & wellbeing of all our students & staff, our school will continue an enhanced cleaning routine and will encourage frequent hand washing.

Sanitiser, hand soap and disinfectant wipes are available in all classrooms. We have been allocated extra funding for cleaning to allow for a cleaner to be onsite during the day. Classrooms, school building and playgrounds are disinfected every day using a disinfectant spray.

All Foundation–2 students now have a pencil case each with their own supplies to prevent the of sharing resources.

DROP OFF ZONE – BEALIBA RD

Thank you to all the parents that have been obeying the rules of the drop off zone and not using it as a parking area. Thank you to Parents for not parking on the nature strips across from the

school. This is a signed no parking area. We also have the drop off Zone at the MELC.

News & Updates

SNIPPETS ONLINE

During this term we are going to be trialling electronic only publishing of Snippets. Snippets will be available on Sentral, Facebook page and on our school webpage. We will have some Snippets available in the foyer if parents require hard copies.

There are a number of reasons for this:

Nearly all families have an email and are successfully logged into Sentral.

Sentral and Facebook has been a positive communication tool during remote learning.

Saving of paper resources in printing of Snippets.

Making sure Parents have multiple ways of accessing Snippets.

ENROLMENTS OPEN FOR - 2021

It’s that time of year when enrolments are rapidly coming in for students who will begin school next year.

It is vital to complete an enrolment form as soon as possible so we

can begin planning for 2021.

If you know of any other families that are thinking of coming to South St, please let them know

that enrolments are open and they can call to book an appointment for a tour of the school and collect an enrolment pack.

CAMPS AND EXCURSIONS

We have our 3/4 and 5/6 camps planned for mid-November. At this stage we are planning for these camps to go ahead. We have had some positive communication from the camps. We are going to develop a payment plan for parents as we don’t want children to miss out if we are able to hold camps. If they do not go ahead, parents will receive full refunds. More information will be provided in the near future.
