As you would be aware, announcements made by the Premier this week regarding an extension of the lockdown means that remote learning will continue for the remainder of Term 3 and into the beginning of Term 4. As was communicated by Mr Lo Cascio earlier this week, we once again extend our thanks to all our families who are able to keep their children home at this time. By limiting the number of students on site to only those who have no option to stay home, we are helping to keep our students, staff and families as safe as possible. 

Due to rescheduling of the Trial HSC Examinations, we have had to reconsider the most appropriate time to host the Year 12 Parent/Teacher/Student interviews. For parents of Year 12 students, please note that these will take place (virtually) on the evening of Thursday September 16 and the morning of Friday September 17. More information regarding these will be circulated next week. 

Over the coming weeks, Transport NSW will be contacting students/families who have Opal Cards that are due to expire (they have a lifespan of approximately 5 years). If you are contacted by Transport for NSW requesting updated information, you can be confident that the request is legitimate. 

Finally, in consideration of the number of COVID cases that are active in our community at present, I take the opportunity to remind families to please continue following our COVID recording procedures, which include: 

• Informing the school immediately if your child is self-isolating or undergoing testing, and informing us of the result as soon as possible.
  
• Following sickness with flu-like symptoms, ensuring your child is free of symptoms and can present a negative COVID-19 test, before attending the College site for any reason.

All the best for the week ahead.
