School Sport (out of hours)
28 May 2020
We have some wonderful news - Out of Hours Sport is set to begin again!
As from Monday 1 June (Week 6) restrictions for school related sport will be eased meaning:
- Non-contact training and sport competitions can commence!
- Contact sport training activities can commence!
BUT we need your help for this to occur!
Spectators aren’t permitted except for 1 parent/carer per student. All adults must practise appropriate physical distancing. Please continue to keep gatherings of adults to an absolute minimum, keeping 1.5m distance between you and other people.
You will hear from your child's coach as to when training will begin, as well as when games will be scheduled. At this stage we believe competitions will not commence until at least Term 3.
School Crossing closure
27 May 2020
Mitcham council has informed us that the school crossing will be closed for upgrade work from Thursday 28th May (lunchtime) until Monday 1st June (lunchtime). Can you please organise to enter the school in a different way while the crossing is being upgraded. Please consider alternative carpark areas and entering via Frank Smith reserve or Trevilyan Court. A member of our leadership team will be at the crossing on the days impacted, and the footpath subcontracters have informed us that the 25km/h zone will be enacted for the duration of the work to the crossing.
Kind regards
Liz Pelling
Principal

Footpath upgrade/Virtual Assembly Wk 5
24 May 2020
Footpath upgrade
Currently Mitcham council is upgrading the paths on Main road as well as the school crossing. Even though signs say paths are closed, the council has informed us that there is room for students to walk safely around the footpath construction area. Last week I asked our Student Leaders to discuss this with all classes and I have asked staff to also reinforce this with students.
The work includes the following:
- Replacing existing asphalt footpath with concrete block paving,
- New signage to improve the safety at the access road/footpath interfaces,
- Koala Crossing upgrades including:
- Replacement of the crossing ramps
- Improved access to the crossing ramps
- New pedestrian fencing
- Improved access to the existing bus stop (number 35) near Koala Crossing
Virtual Assembly
This week's virtual assembly will be streamed from Ms. McIntyre's class and the ukelele club will be performing for us. Thanks to families who provided us with feedback as we endeavour to continually improve what we do.
