Important Information This Week
SCHOOL NEWSLETTER PRESENTED FORTNIGHTLY
Our school newsletter is our main means of communicating with parents in bulk and is full of important information for all parents and carers in our community. As we now have several platforms of communication Schoolzine, ClassDojo and PAM we have decided that the school newsletter will be produced and sent out fortnightly instead of weekly. We still hope parents will support us by sending any stories of interest or successes of their children as it’s a great way to showcase talents and skills that are happening outside of the school.
KIDS WALKING TO AND HOME VIA THE REC RESERVE GATE
We have noticed an increased number of children exiting our school each day via the Drouin Rec Reserve gates and walking down through Civic Park. If your child is a walker, please ensure you have informed your child’s teacher in writing either via a ClassDojo, an email or written note. Any student walking needs exit the school behind the signage making sure they hug the fence line and stay off the roads to avoid car line pick up and drop off traffic.
2023 FOUNDATION SIBLING ENROLMENTS
Our 2023 sibling enrolments for Foundation are currently open to St Ita’s families. To register your interest in a position for your child in 2023, please contact Beck or Helen at admin@stidrouin.catholic.edu.au or 5623 7222 by Friday 27 May 2022.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION SCHOOL CLOSURE
A reminder to all parents that our whole school Religious Education Planning day is on Friday 10th June. There will be no school for students on this day as all teachers will be in team planning on this day.
COVID UPDATE
Over the weekend we have had several staff and a high number of children contract COVID and or Influenza. The foundations and grade one’s have been the most affected.
We are currently extremely short on teaching staff and we will have to explore the option of splitting classes across our school.
It’s vitally important that we do our best to keep everyone safe at school.
If your child is displaying any symptoms, please keep them at home, RAT test them and only send them back to school when all symptoms have gone.
If children present at school with symptoms you will be contacted by admin and you will be required to collect your child.
We need to work together to get through this current outbreak and make sure we provide students and staff with the safest possible environment whilst at school.
