Earlier in the week, students in Year 10 brought home information regarding their immunisations that are scheduled for Thursday 15th October which is in Week 1 of Term 4. I ask all parents who wish to have their child immunised, to return these prior to the end of Term 3. This will allow us to process the forms and prepare them for the day. Should you submit these forms and for any reason wish to withdraw this consent, you may collect a Withdrawal of Consent Form from the College Office. 

By now our families would be well aware of the range of measures and changes to routines that we have adopted in response to the pandemic and in an effort to support the safety and wellbeing of all within our community. The current measures, including restrictions on excursions, assemblies, sign in procedures, visitors to the College (to name just a few) will of course continue until the end of the current term. At some point early in Term 4, we are expecting NSW Health to provide a revised list of guidelines for all NSW schools. Whether these guidelines will see our restrictions eased, tightened or remain the same, will be dependent upon the health climate at the time. As a College we will continue to communicate any updates to students, staff and parents as they become available. 

Finally, I once again take the opportunity to thank all members of the College community for your cooperation and support as we enforce the safety measures regarding student and staff wellbeing. I remind everyone that we are now mandated to send home students that present with flu-like symptoms, allowing them to return only once a negative COVID-19 test has been received and the relevant symptoms have ceased. Again I ask that if your son or daughter is tested, please remember to inform the College once the test has been administered, and again once the result is known.
