Winter School Uniform - Changeover

Thank you to our parents and carers for transitioning the students into their winter uniforms. All students should now be wearing their winter uniform. Please let your class teacher know if you have questions about uniforms.

At St Francis of Assisi, we support students to be sun smart. In doing so, we encourage students to consistently wear their hats when outdoors, from the time they enter the school gate each morning until they are dismissed each afternoon. This is still relevant as we enter the winter months and is part of the winter uniform. We ask parents to support us by reminding their child/children to put their hat on as part of their uniform expectation each day.

Covid Update - Illnesses
Thank you to our families for continuing to be vigilant around unwell students. As we continue to live, work and learn with COVID-19, the precautions and testing are still in place. If your child is unwell with Covid like symptoms, then we still require a negative Covid test before returning to school. This also applies to staff. We have had a number of students and staff who have recently been off due to colds; please continue to practise good hygiene.

• wash your hands often with soap and water. This includes before and after eating and after going to the toilet.
• use alcohol-based hand sanitisers when you can’t use soap and water.
• avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• clean and disinfect surfaces, such as benchtops, desks and doorknobs.

Thank you
Thank you to the P&F for organising the beautiful morning tea and Mother’s Day stall. What an amazing array of gifts the students had to choose from! Thank you to those parents that were able to assist on the day. Congratulations to those mums who won the lucky door prizes.
