Dear Families

Welcome back to Term 3. 

We had a settled start to the term despite having to navigate our way around a few challenges in relation to advice from Public Health which impacted on staff in the first week back.  However, our Herdy team are super stars and through their support and flexibility, our school remained settled and calm.

We are so lucky here in Tasmania to be sheltered from what is happening in other states. However, it is a timely reminder that things could change at any time and that we need to continue to follow the Public Health guidelines to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community. Which include:

• maintaining physical distancing
• practising good hygiene and washing your hands
• getting tested if you have even the mildest of symptoms
• keep students at home if they are unwell
• downloading and using the Check In TAS app whenever required, including when you enter school sites – more information on the app can be found here: http://coronavirus.tas.gov.au/check-in-tas.

Last week students participated in range of cultural art activities with the support of our Aboriginal Education Worker, Ms Natalie Vucica and our Early Years AST, Miss Georgie Field. Our students thoroughly enjoyed and were highly engaged in the wonderful experiences organised.

We also held a special NAIDOC assembly last Friday and are very proud of the students who received NAIDOC Awards. Congratulations to the following students, Kayleth, Jazhara, Jaylah D, Sophie, Jaylah T, Kaidyn, Chaise, Kyden, Jhett, Harmonie, Seth and Billi. 

I would also like to congratulate and thank Brooke G, Jazhara BM, Shyne M, Ayesha P and Sophie C who did a fantastic job at hosting and presenting items at our NAIDOC assembly.
