Seahorse Tales Woolgoolga Public School
TERM 2 ISSUE 4 21st May 2020
Getting the Gang Back Together
Schools are safe and open for full-time face-to-face learning.
Health advice is that students do not need to follow the same social distancing
restrictions as adults, but should follow good hygiene practices like:
regularly washing hands
avoiding sharing food and drinks
bringing their own water bottle
coughing or sneezing into elbows and discarding tissues
maintaining distance from others where possible.
From Monday 25th May, all students should be at school unless they are currently
unwell or have a medical certificate which states that they are unable to return to
school due to an ongoing medical condition.
What we can do:
use the school library and canteen
engage in non-contact sports activities
use school playgrounds
What we can’t do:
school assemblies
school camps and excursions
inter-school activities
in-school activities requiring parent or other volunteers
use water bubblers
conduct parent meetings on-site.
Enhanced school cleaning will continue, including cleaning of toilets and high-touch
surfaces during the school day. School staff should be the only adults on site.
Parents are asked not to enter the school site other than for essential visits to the
school office and are asked to drop-off and pick-up their children from outside the
school gate and practise social distancing in the vicinity of the school. We
understand that these are quite draconian measures, but they are in line with current
government mandates and necessary to ensure the safety of our students, staff and
community.
We look forward to returning to a sense of normality with all students on-site from
Monday.
