Post Lockdown Survey
Thank you to everyone involved in the smooth transition to and from remote learning during the recent lockdown. The majority of the feedback we have received has been positive as have the improvement suggestions. In order to prepare for the next lockdown effectively we are seeking your feedback through the following short survey.
WALK DON’T RUN
Please consider signing the petition to support the instalment of 40kmh School Zone along Raglan Parade between King Street and Hopetoun Road. Many children dart across in this dangerous area through dense, fast traffic.
Staffing Update
Georgia Johnson will be leaving C2 in early Term 4, 2021 to begin maternity leave. We wish her well as she begins the next exciting chapter in her life.
Louis O’Connor will take leave for the Term 4, 2021 and all of 2022. Louis plans some interstate and hopefully some overseas travel.
Parents School Association
The PSA met virtually last Tuesday night. The group is conscious of it’s dual role of community building and fundraising.
With consideration to the needs of our community, the uncertainty around restrictions and the desire to ensure we maximise family participation, the following decisions were made:
- Fathers’ Day Breakfast has been cancelled due to uncertainty around restrictions.
- the Fathers Day Raffle will be run.
- a pie drive will be run later this term.
- the St Joseph’s Fair will be postponed till 2023.
The PSA will endeavour to run several smaller community building activities in 2022 aimed at connecting our families.
