Parents you will receive a separate email for our survey. The survey is confidential and it will be forwarded to our Community Liaison Officer Di Taylor. We are working with NDIS and Nathan Bond is keen to ensure onsite one to one check ins. 

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. It is not preferred however for this term we will maintain limiting adults onsite in large groups.

As always, please to do the right thing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If any students, families and staff develop symptoms or feel unwell, they should not attend the school, contact their GP and get tested for COVID-19. If students or staff present at school as unwell we will follow up and request an early departure until well.

For advice call your doctor or 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) straight away.

Border restrictions

You would be aware that the Premier announced that from 1am Saturday 8 August, all local government areas in NSW and the ACT will be declared COVID-19 hotspots.

This means that any person who has been in NSW or the ACT during the past 14 days must not enter Queensland.  There are some exceptions subject to strict conditions including Queensland residents returning home who will be subject to government-directed quarantine at their own expense.

During week 5 our students will revisit the learning from the past 3 weeks of school.  Through explicit and incidental teaching, students have explored the skills;

• Communicating how they are feeling about curriculum tasks and engaging safely in the playground. 
• Staying with the group and walk on pathways when they travel to and from assemblies and playground areas. 
• Personal space, recognising emotions, taking turns and playing by the rules during Health and Physical Education explicit lessons and when engaging in outdoor play with their peers. 

Parents can assist with this learning in a home school partnership way by;

• Communicating how they are feeling during the day and playing safely with their siblings at home during weekend activities. 
• Providing one step instructions for your young people to walk alongside you when shopping and crossing roads when out the in the community.
• Labelling your own and your young persons emotions as they present during activities within the home. Families could engage in a family game night, which would enable all the family members to model taking turns and playing by the rules.
