Dear Parents and Caregivers

I hope everyone has enjoyed another week. We had great weather and a beautiful day today for the Pre-Primary Teddy Bear Picnic.

Western Australia continues to make positive steps in the recovery from COVID-19. Last week the government announced that parents would be able to enter school grounds for pick-up and drop-off. An email has been sent to parents and guardians with details of how this will impact on our morning and afternoon procedures.

The school library will reopen next week, and students will be able to borrow on Tuesday 9 June. The library access means that students will have an extensive range of books to choose from between the online readers and books to borrow from the library.

We have confirmed the date of the Cross Country Carnival. It will take place on Friday 26 June on the BI. Miss B will send out information for parent helpers as per previous years. Parents will be able to attend the event but please continue to keep 1.5m between families. It is exciting that we will be able to hold this event and have parent spectators.

The uniform shop will be open on Tuesday and Friday morning for parents to purchase items. Because the physical shop has been unavailable for so long, we are mindful there may be a large number wanting to attend next week. Please fill in this form to help us gauge numbers

It has been another positive week at school with the teachers and students. The students are continuing to display beautiful manners in the way they greet peers and staff. The teachers and classes are doing amazing things in the class with their learning. Some classes are even doing amazing things outside! Check out the Teddy Bear Picnic in the Assistant Principal news.

I am looking forward to seeing and saying hello to more people next week with the return of parents onsite. Stay safe and have a great weekend.

Warm regards,

Ryan Powles
Acting Principal
