During week 7 our students will be engaging in experience involving the Accepting Road with a focus on the topic of ‘I like myself’. A focus will be on highlighting, and celebrating, the attributes each student holds that makes them proud.

• Parents and carers can support this explicit teaching by communicating the things they like about their student. Examples may include their sense of humour, their fashion style, their personality etc.

The Engine will continue to be explicitly taught through a variety of group and individual experiences designed to support the students to engaging in their five basic needs of: Love & Belonging, Survival, Fun, Power and Freedom.

• Parents and carers can support this explicit teaching by supporting their student to identify the people, places, events and objects that have meaning to them.

In building our global school budgeting for 2022 we are finalising our school budget and your contribution to support education delivery for state schooling.

Our school for 18 years has maintained with families a School Offer payment of $180.00 to contribute to your young person's school learning. The P&C approved that we would maintain the same financial offer of $180.00 for 2022.

The $180.00 payable Student Offer incorporates:

• Book list requirements
• Student Resources and Consumables
• Reprographics including printing
• Student Communication Diary

The Student Offer is based on the 40 school weeks. This Student Offer of $180.00 for whole school activities can be paid annually, by semester (2x $90.00), by term (4 x $45.00) or weekly (40 weeks x $5.00). A receipt will be forwarded and collected through the office or via student communication diary.

Classes will require further support for their individual user pays programs and will forward the details and invoice to you in writing once their projects have been approved through P&C Association and Administration, for example class cooking programs or user pays programs including: School Performances, swimming, camps etc.

Swimming fees for 2022 will reflect the training credential required to cover instructor led swimming lessons as per our departmental guidelines and we will offer to select teams in 2022.

Non-payment of the school Student Offer may result in a need for alternative programming for your child. It is crucial for these programs to be successful that all families participate.

The School Offer payable for the year is published on the schools website.

School Performance

All students will attend a school performance each year and in good faith with the request that families follow through with payment as soon as possible to assist with payment to the Schools Performance Team.

Stop the Spread of COVID-19

Maintaining the required hygiene and physical distancing measures in place in our school. These are our most effective ways to stop the spread of COVID-19. 

Any person who is sick (staff, student or parent) should stay home and if they have any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, get tested.

Symptoms of COVID-19 can include: 

• Fever
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• Loss of taste or smell
• Tiredness and muscle aches
• Vomiting and/or diarrhoea
• Shortness of breath

If students or staff present at school as unwell we will follow up and request an imediate early departure until a medical clearance is provided and confirmation that the person is well.

We need to ensure we stay home if recurring flu like symptoms present to decrease the spread of influenza.

If you have any questions, please call your doctor or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) in these continuing concerning times.
