For Your Information

Important COVID update

As we continue to live with COVID, you can help keep our school community safe and well by following the guidance from SA Heath below:

If a member of a student's household (a close contact) has tested positive to COVID-19, that student can continue to attend school ONLY IF they receive a negative RAT test each day of attendance for 7 days after the positive test result AND they wear a mask while at school.

Parents Welcomed Back on Campus

From Monday, Week 3 parents will again be able to come on campus to drop-off or pick-up their children. Like so many of you, we are looking forward to having our parents back again!

Please note, that in following up-to-date guidelines and to keep everybody safe:

face masks must be worn
parents will not be able to enter classrooms or other indoor areas.

Thank you for your continued support.

Year 6s mask up

We're all very used to wearing masks these days, but our Year 6 students delighted in the opportunity to explore and create masks of a different kind. The plaster masks you see below were molded off the students' own faces, and artistically decorated to represent either indigenous, African or Asian cultures.

We think they look amazing - don't you?

Every fortnight, we are highlighting student work that demonstrates their commitment to personal excellence. Keep an eye out for examples from across the school in the coming weeks.

2022 School Improvement Survey - FINAL CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY!

The deadline to complete the school improvement survey has been extended until this Friday (May 20).

All school families received an invitation to participate in Adventist Schools Australia’s Parent Survey in Week 1. Every parent was given a printed letter with a unique access code so that opinions will be 100% anonymous.

Your views help provide a more accurate, reliable, and equitable picture than is obtained using only staff and student measures.

We would like to encourage you to participate in this survey, as the more data gathered, the more this will assist us in providing the best possible educational experiences for our students.

Don't miss out! The survey will be ‘live’ through to the close of business on Friday 20th of May. Thank you for your participation- it is greatly appreciated.

Winter Uniform Change Over

For the first two weeks of Term 2, either full summer or full winter uniform was acceptable. As of this week, full winter uniform is required. If your student does not have full winter uniform they will require a Uniform Pass, and you will need to order the required uniform pieces through the Uniform Shop or Flexischools as a matter of priority.

Uniform Shop

If you still need fittings for winter uniform, please note that as limited appointments are available, bookings need to be made through the Front Office on 8396 2577 as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can order through Flexischools. If you order the wrong size, please return the item to the Front Office in the original packaging.
