ACTING PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE

WHERE ARE WE AT WITH COVID-19?

Last Wednesday, the Executive team met to discuss this question.  As a result I sent out the following information to families on Thursday, 14th May via School Stream:

In essence the information was that all students Kinder - Grade 10, with the exception of those with chronic health / immune system conditions, are expected to return to the classroom and resume face to face learning on Monday, 25th May. The delivery of learning@home to students will cease on Thursday, 21 May 2020 with a Student Free Day on Friday, 22nd May.

A further piece of information was communicated by me on Tuesday, 19th May to families to reassure all that as a College we were following all the hygiene measures as dictated to by Catholic Education Tasmania.  That information was the following:

More Campus specific information has been communicated on School Stream by our two Deputy Principals, Mrs Susan McGann and Ms Susanna Bond.

We look forward to seeing all students on Monday, 25th May 2020.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me,  the Deputy Principals or the Front Office staff.

 

INFASTRUCTURE REDEVELOPMENTS AT THE KINGSTON CAMPUS

Two projects are on the way and another is drawing to a conclusion.

The extended car park for the Parish and College is now functioning.  We just need to complete the lights that will illuminate the space at night and beautify the front of Jindabyne Road.  Families will be happy to know that we are creating a path from the section next to Roslyn Avenue so that families parking there don’t need to walk on the road.

The next infrastructure project associated with this build was the redeveloping of the front of the campus along Roslyn Avenue.  Plans are being drawn up and I’ll keep you posted to when work begins.

And, just because not enough work can happen at once, we are taking the opportunity to start works on a major drainage project in and at the back of the Kinder/Prep playground.  As you know, it’s two years since we got flooded and this is extra work we are committed to doing to mitigate against potential flood damage in the future.

 

STATE GOVERNMENT REDEVELOPMENT OF HUNTINGFIELD

Below you can view the latest release from the State Government, via the Deputy Mayor’s Jo Westwood’s Facebook page.

At the College Board meeting this week it was decided to write a letter to families encouraging them to give their perspective.  Stay tuned for a letter from our College Board Chair, Mr Jeremy Ayliffe.

 

GRADE 3-10 VIRTUAL CROSS COUNTRY

With our restricted lives being somewhat eased, it’s been fantastic to see students, staff and families take up the challenge from the HPE team and getting our steps up.  Staff have been encouraged to wear their active wear this week to participate in the Cross Country with the students.  Above was my suggestion to staff.  I can’t understand why no one took it up!

Stay tuned for next fortnight's newsletter for the results.
