Important Information This Week
CORONAVIRUS UPDATES
We have had a sharp increase in the number of students and staff contracting Covid-19 this week. Could all families please do their best to RAT test twice weekly, and in an effort to keep all in our community safe by following the procedures below.
- If your child presents at home with any cold or flu like symptoms please keep them at home and RAT test them, sending them back to school when all symptoms have gone.
- If your child presents at school with cold or flu like symptoms parents will be contacted and the expectation is that you come and collect your child, RAT test them and return them once all symptoms have gone.
- Students in Grades 3-6 should, where possible, wear a mask whilst indoor and unable to comfortably social distance, with the exception where an exemption applies.
The classes with students with positive students have been Grade 3/4O, Grade 3/4V and Grade 1G.
GIANT EASTER RAFFLE IS BACK ON IN 2022
It is with great pleasure that I can announce the world-famous St Ita’s Giant Easter Egg Raffle is back in 2022. Next Friday 1st of April all children will have a free dress day at school and the cost for free dress is a minimum of ONE Easter Egg donation (you can offer more eggs if you wish).
We will then hamper up all the Easter Eggs collected and raffle them off on our final assembly for the term (our last raffle had 36 hampers!).
Tomorrow all St Ita’s families will receive a book of 10 tickets which are sold for $1 a ticket. All the sold tickets and money will need to be returned to school by Thursday 31st March at the absolute latest. If any families would like more booklets please contact administration via email or phone (admin@stidrouin.catholic.edu.au or 56237222).
Good luck to all and I hope you are a winner!
