Dear parents and caregivers,
I am writing to provide you with updated information regarding the latest 3-day COVID-19 lockdown. The health, safety and welfare of your children, our students, continues to be our priority.
Fortunately, we do not have any confirmed cases at our school and, therefore, our school will remain open. Should this change, I will update the school community as soon as possible. I understand, however, there may be some concern over the latest health alerts coming from interstate and the potential impact on our school community.
Please be assured that our school has been taking all appropriate precautions regarding health and hygiene and we will continue to take the advice of Queensland Health. We are working closely with the public health authorities and our own Department of Education to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff. If you have any concerns, please contact the school on 3716 2111.
For Monday 2 August:
- School is open to the students of ESSENTAIL WORKERS only – and then only if you are leaving your house to attend work.
- We request that students do not arrive to school prior to 8.30am – where they should be taken directly to our school hall.
- Teachers will be working on Monday to organise and prepare our online platforms - and remote learning will be reinstated as quickly as we can manage – your child’s teacher will make further contact with you on Monday.
- Please contact me directly (ahawk19@eq.edu.au) if need further clarification or have questions.
We all have a role to play to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community. If you or any members of your household develop symptoms or feel unwell, please isolate and get tested.
Further information including interstate hotspots, contact tracing alerts, symptoms of COVID-19 and when to seek medical advice and prevention, can be found via Queensland Health. Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
Amanda Hawkswell
Principal
