FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you for your great support at this time. We appreciate you monitoring the health and wellbeing of your children and keeping them home if they have signs of coughs, colds, sort throats and flu-like symptoms. Thank you for helping your children understand the importance of good hygiene practices with sneezes and coughs (into elbows), and thorough washing and sanitising of hands. Social distancing in a primary setting is not an easy aspect of community life that we are encouraged to adopt. The things we are doing are ‘distant hugs, hi-5’s, fist bumps’ we are smiling and waving at each other as our greeting and ‘spirit fingers’ are making an appearance too.
I read this quote this week and thought it was worth sharing:

Brooke has been training very hard especially for the last 6 weeks before hand. With the bush fires we didn’t think we would make it this year but what a success.
Brooke is self upgrading to the lope and canter classes next season. She said she would like more of a challenge. Go Brooke!
Regards.
Jo
