From The Assistant Principal
A reminder that Year 7 Immunisations will take place this coming Monday 29 June. Students who have not returned their immunisation card will not be able to receive these initial two injections unless they are returned by Monday. To assist with the administering of these, students are asked to wear their full College sports uniform on the day. Students are also encouraged to have an appropriate breakfast on the morning of their injections before going to school. If any parent submitted their immunisation card in Term 1 and would like to withdraw their consent for any reason, notification must be made by filling in the "NSW Health - Withdrawal of Consent Form" which is available from the College office.
Any student who was absent for our annual College photo day which was held yesterday, will be able to have their photos taken at our ‘Catch up session’ which will take place this coming Monday 29 June. Students are asked to have their name marked off at the Period 1 class and then meet at the Champagnat Centre.
The opportunity still exists for parents to provide preapproval for their son/daughter to be allowed to make their own way home without any additional consent should the College be made aware of a positive case of COVID-19. In the interest of ensuring that all families are provided with this opportunity, I have included my message from last week’s College newsletter below.
While the threat of a COVID-19 infection has certainly eased since the beginning of the pandemic, it has become necessary for schools to develop procedures for responding to a positive case in the unlikely event that this may occur. Earlier this week, the College circulated a Compass alert that invited parents to give pre-approval for their child/ren to be dismissed from the College to make their own way home prior to our normal finishing time should we be informed of a positive case. If this were to occur, students who have been given this pre-approval would be invited to leave the College grounds at the earliest possible opportunity. For those without pre-approval, parents would still be able to collect them in person, or of course they would be permitted to remain supervised on site until the end of the scheduled conclusion of the school day. For parents who are yet to give their pre-approval and would like to, please visit your Compass Events page to give your consent.
