Dear parents and carers
I am writing to inform you about the impact of influenza (flu) among our school community and measures we can all take to reduce the spread of flu as we enter into the colder months.
I want to reassure you that we are taking this very seriously and continue to follow the expert advice of the Department of Education and Training and Department of Health, to help ensure that our school continues to run effectively.
To help protect our school and the wider community, we ask that unwell students stay home, given the impacts of flu and colds on our school community.
To help reduce the spread of flu, colds and COVID-19, students are being encouraged to;
Face masks are available in all schools and can be worn by any staff or students who wish to do so, including those who are medically at risk.
Vaccination remains the best protection against both COVID-19 and flu, and we encourage you to get your child vaccinated. Flu vaccinations can be booked through GPs and pharmacies, many of which can also provide COVID-19 vaccinations.
Please see the letter from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Victoria Faculty Council Chair, about the importance of protecting your children and family.
If your child does become sick while at school, please also ensure that we have correct emergency contact details for yourself. This is so we can get hold of you as quickly as possible.
I am aware that this is a challenging situation and we thank you for your understanding and support at this time.
If you have questions about what this means for our school, please feel free to contact Kerryn Riley on 9789 3288.
Thank you again for your support.
Yours sincerely
Kerryn Riley
Principal
Dear parents and carers,
For Term 2, 2022, the Department of Education and Training has provided schools with the option to hold each teacher’s allocated professional practice day on the same day for all staff. This is to enable the most effective and efficient use of this day.
As a result, we have scheduled our professional practice day for Wednesday, 1st June. Students will therefore not be required to attend school on this day.
We will be focussing on Mathematics.
Regards,
Kerryn Riley
Principal
