Parent COVID Update

09 Dec 2021

Vaccination requirements for 2022

As you may be aware, all school staff are required to be double dose vaccinated before
Term 1, 2022 starts.

The State Government has issued Education Worker (Restrictions on Access) Directions (No. 3), which are published on wa.gov.au. These Directions include vaccination requirements for visitors entering school sites.

Students are not required to be vaccinated.

However, if your child is on a work placement, they will need to comply with the industry/business requirements at that workplace.

Parents/carers are not required to be vaccinated when:

dropping off or picking up their child from school;
volunteering at school on an ad hoc basis;
attending an event such as an assembly or parent teacher interview; or

entering the school after hours.

‘Ad hoc basis’ means attendance at no more than one education facility no more than once per week.

Parents/carers are required to provide vaccination evidence (single dose vaccinated from
1 January 2022 and double dose vaccinated from 31 January 2022) or exemption when:

volunteering at the school more than once a week (this includes volunteering at the school canteen, uniform store or an in-class literacy or numeracy program);
working in an unpaid capacity at the school more than once a week; or
participating in an endorsed program at the school where parent attendance is required.

The following are acceptable forms of evidence of COVID-19 vaccination or exemption:

written confirmation of the COVID-19 vaccination issued by the Department of Health;
the COVID-19 digital certificate, which shows only your COVID-19 vaccinations. Services Australia has information on how to get your COVID-19 digital certificate;
your immunisation history statement, which shows all vaccinations you’ve had. Services Australia has information on how to get your immunisation history statement;
an International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate issued by the Commonwealth Government. This shows the COVID-19 vaccination recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register;
medical exemption issued by the Australian Immunisation Register; or
temporary exemption granted by the WA Chief Health Officer.

We are committed to ensuring our school is a COVID-19 safe space. We have been provided with a clear direction of what we all need to do to keep students, colleagues and our community safe. If you have any queries, please contact the school on 97650000.

Thank you for your support.

2022 Year 5/6 Students

03 Dec 2021

Dear Year Four/Five Parents,

We are working on class lists and timetables for 2022 and one of the proposals is that we continue with the Year 5/6 class coming to the High School, most likely on a Thursday. This has worked extremely well in past years in that it gives primary students access to some great resources and specialist teachers in a range of curriculum areas.

While we appreciate that some of you may be concerned about your child mixing with older students at recess and lunch we have some good processes in place that regularly monitor the program including student feedback each week as part of the next day’s program. We also closely monitor the playground during lunch and recess with admin and teaching staff out and about with the students and we immediately follow up on any incidences when they occur.

For many other District High Schools across the state this would be a normal daily occurrence of primary mixing with high school students. However, we would like to assure you that we have worked very hard to make this alternative program a positive educational experience that brings value to their schooling.

If you have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We do stress that this is only proposed at this point and will depend on staffing before a final decision is made.

Reporting to Parents: Information

03 Dec 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Reporting To Parents- Information

Semester Two reports will be emailed out to parents towards the end of the term. It is vital that all parents have provided the school with a current email address so that reports get to you on time and successfully.

If you do not have a current email address and/or need a hard copy of your child’s report, please contact the school office on 97650000.

Information regarding ‘D and E’ grades

Parents of students who receive a D or E grade on their report, will be well informed of this prior to reports being sent out to parents.

It is important that parents know that if your child receives a D grade this indicates that they are working below the expected level of their year level. These students will be provided curriculum adjustments throughout their curriculum content and will be placed on an Individual Education Plan. These plans are communicated to Parents on a regular basis and are updated regularly.

If your child receives an E grade this indicates that they are working well below the expected level of their year level. Students who receive this grade will be provided with an Individual Education plan and be reported on an additional SEN (Special Education Needs) report. These reports are used to demonstrate the progress each child has made on their individual plans. This does not mean that they have not progressed, only that they have very specific goals and curriculum adjustments in order for them to gain the necessary skills to maintain their individual progress. These students usually will have either a specific disability diagnosis or learning difficulty which impedes their learning. If your child does require a SEN report an E grade will appear on their normal report and a comment stating “See SEN report” will appear in the comment section.

In either of these cases, Parents will have had discussions with their child’s teachers and will be well aware of their child’s Individual Education Plan, level of achievement and if they will require a SEN report.

If you as a Parent have any concerns about your child’s report or level of achievement, please discuss this with your child’s teacher, or make an appointment to see Bernard, Cheree or Renee.

Regards,
Bernard Beatty
Principal
