Even with these playground opportunities, the students have done well adapting to the new restrictions on games like soccer and football that they are unable to play currently.
Unfortunately, this is contributing to some level of unease as yet another level of stress impacting the students in the current climate. We will be adding more supervision to the

Farewell and Thankyou Ms Bayliss
This week also saw another change at ABPS
with Ms Bayliss finishing her teaching career. Ms Bayliss has been a fixture at the school for many years and leaves a legacy of excellence in educating and guiding so many children from
Anna Bay. Her experience, mentorship and presence will be greatly missed by the staff and community as we wish her well in her new journeys.

A few reminders about our current whole
school routines.
All students should be at school unless
they are unwell or they have a medical
certificate that states that they are unable
to return due to an ongoing medical
condition.
Schools have returned to face-to-face
delivery of learning and the remote
learning packages will not continue.
Playground equipment is open and is
cleaned after each play period.
Modified arrangements for pick up and
drop offs currently in place will continue.
This includes the use of the gate near the
K-2 grassed area. The Government’s
advice asking parents to pick up and drop
off students at the school gate also
remains current. We continue to ask
everyone to be mindful of social
distancing at the school gates at drop off
and pick up times.
The gate on the K-2 oval is only open for
pick up as the K-2 oval is not supervised
during morning play.
