Dear Parents and Carers,

The end of the school year is fast approaching, however we have some wonderful events to look forward to before this time comes.

Obviously we are still operating under some COVID-19 restrictions and we have developed our end of year activities to allow for the greatest parent and student participation possible.  To ensure we stay within these restrictions we will be asking for parent cooperation at different times.  All end of year events will require parents and guests to show proof of double vaccination.

I thank you in advance for understanding our position and adhering to our requirements.

Whole School Award presentation and Class Performances Thursday 9th December

While at the club auditorium we will be entitled to have up to 75 parents and guests attend during class performances and awards. Our traditional speech night will be held during the day and broken into parts to allow for as much parent attendance as possible. If 2 or 3 guests per student attend each section we should stay under the club limits.

As you can see we have very specific times for arrival and departure and this is to limit the interaction between large groups of people.  Parents can wait in other areas of the club but must follow the times above for entry to the auditorium.

Please also note that there will no opportunity for interaction between students and visitors. This is not the normal culture of our school, however it was one of the restrictions that was clearly stated by CECG.

We look forward to the time when we can have our parents involved with our celebrations as is normally the case with our school.

If you require any clarification on any details listed please contact the school office.

Regards,

Phil Nielsen
