My thanks is extended to the many students and parents for your support and understanding as we navigate through the challenges we have faced of late. I am particularly appreciative of the many parents who have clearly been working so closely with their sons and daughters as we enter into this new, almost exclusively online, method of lesson delivery. From the outset this week, I encourage all parents to continue checking in on your child’s progress. Most classes have now set up their own learning environment (quite often via Google Classroom) and parents should be able to easily track and monitor their child’s progress via this application. 

As everyone would be aware by now, the current situation has required us to cancel any anticipated calendared events such as excursions, sporting events, carnivals etc. Earlier this week, these cancellations extended to the Year 7 immunisation program as well. Once we receive an indication as to when schools will resume their normal function, each of these events will be reconsidered and a decision will be made with regards to whether they will run again later in the year, or be officially cancelled for 2020. I think you all for your patience as we deal with yet another unknown in this unique situation.

Mr David Cloran
