Principals Report

On-Site Testing
A huge thanks to our school nurse Ainsley and her colleagues for enabling the on-site COVID testing to go ahead yesterday. It was certainly a day those of us working in the Department of Education never expected we would be a part of.
Our last two years dealing with COVID has certainly forced a lot of change to our society. Hopefully as adjustments are made the detrimental impacts on our lives are reduced. On the positive side, working together we can accomplish a lot.
Return to School For PCC
All children who have evidence of a day 13 negative COVID test are able to return to school on Monday.
It is essential that test results are either uploaded to SeeSaw, sent by private message on Facebook or shown to staff in person. Please do not send your child to school without providing evidence of a day 13 test.
Students who have had COVID are able to return after their day 14.
School Photos
School photos have been rescheduled to November 29 – fingers crossed.
Curriculum Day
We have scheduled a curriculum day for Monday November 22. This day will be utilised to revise essential curriculum and assessment.
Learning Power Success
Congratulations to our all of our students for accumulating so many DOJO POINTS for being KIND, GRITTY and FOCUSED.
Due to the impact of COVID, students have not been able to spend their points on end of year excursions as originally planned. Students will have the option of carrying over their points to next year so they can participate in those excursions in 2022. Of course our Grade 6 students will need to spend their points before they go! Our DOJO SHOP is stocked up with rewards!, plus coming soon (dates to be decided) we will have a Hotdog Lunch & Ice-cream Sundae Fun!
Chris Joustra, Principal.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
On the 11th day of the 11th month we stand in silence for a minute to remember about all those who fought in the war.
Yesterday Jamie-Lee and I went to the Morwell RSL to attend the Remembrance day service. We were invited there to read out two readings called ‘In Flanders Fields’ and ‘We Shall Keep The Faith’.
It was nice to be invited to the service to represent our school.
