• Welcome back
• Keeping safe in the Prep School
• Parent reminders

We welcomed back all of our classes on Wednesday after what was an eventful first term. I would like to congratulate all of our boys and thank each family for their support of the remote learning program. It was truly amazing seeing all year levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 connect with their teachers each day, and engage with their teachers. As we recommence school, and welcome all boys back, we will continue to teach our boys about keeping safe, washing hands and maintaining high standards of hygiene.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, and not being able to conduct assemblies or chapel, we will continue to share these sessions via video. Boys will have access to these sessions in class with the help of their teachers. Additionally, can I remind you that there are no curricular activities, excursion and incursions, camps, sport programs, guest speakers and school events until further notice.

Some other reminders:

• Extend will be operating each afternoon from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. For more information please refer here
• The School Canteen is closed and all boys are required to bring a packed lunch
• Buses will not be operating in weeks 1 and 2 (this will be re-visited during week 2)
• To access the Uniform Shop, families are required to make appointments – see here for more information
• A reminder that no parents or guardians are allowed on campus
• Drop-off/pick-up procedures:
  • Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten families are permitted to use the yellow dot car bays, to drop their son/s at the top of the stairs
  • All other parents are not permitted to park in the school carpark

Again, I wish to thank you all for your support and cooperation throughout our remote learning program and return to school.

Best wishes for a safe and rewarding term!

Dr Steven Males
Head of Preparatory School
