As the COVID19 situation continues to evolve, I would like to once again remind parents and students to inform the College should any student be advised by their doctor to be tested for COVID19. We ask that you advise the front office as soon as a test has been requested or administered, and then once again once the result is known. As per NSW Health advice, it is essential that anyone who has been tested, remains at home in isolation until a negative result is returned. 

After a great deal of discussion, we have decided to gradually ease our restrictions on the use of sporting equipment during recess and lunch times as well as in PDHPE practical lessons and Tuesday afternoon sport. Students will be permitted to once again bring their own footballs, soccer balls and basketballs from Tuesday for use on the College ovals and courts. At this point, handball will not be permitted in the quad. In reintroducing these activities, we have sourced additional portable hand sanitisation stations that all students will be encouraged to use both prior to, and following, any activity. 

This week has seen an increase in the number of students who have caught buses from the College of an afternoon which has resulted in a slight easing of some of the traffic congestion of an afternoon along Spitfire Drive. I would once again stress the importance of ensuring that drop offs and pick ups only take place from the bottom parent car park by turning left immediately after driving through the College gates. For safety reasons, parents are asked not to drive up to the turning circle outside the LaValla centre.
