All necessary safety and risk assessments have been conducted and I can confirm it is safe for students and staff to attend our school.

It is incredibly important that you take time to look after yourselves and your families. I encourage you to access the information available for parents and students to support health and wellbeing during these difficult circumstances.

I also encourage families to be aware of potential risks to children with health needs such as respiratory issues, that may be adversely affected by the current conditions. If you have any concerns, please contact your GP for advice.

Thank you for your ongoing support and I trust that the impact of this event on our school will be minimal.
