The Department continues to communicate with schools in regards to guidelines and requirements for us to follow. Our office staff are doing an amazing job keeping up with new protocols they must follow and are often calling parents about students having to receive a negative COVID result prior to returning to school. Please see the below statement from thE Department that we must follow:

• In accordance with advice from NSW Health parents and carers are reminded NOT to send children to school if they are unwell, even if they have the mildest flu-like symptoms.
• Students and staff with flu-like symptoms will need to be tested and provide a copy of a negative COVID-19 test result and be symptom-free before being permitted to return to school.

A huge thank you to the teachers for taking the students away and providing them this amazing oppoportunity, it is very much appreciated and without them this would not be possible.

Girls Cricket

Congratulations to our Girls Cricket team who today played against Oyster Bay PS in the first round of the NSW State PSSA KO.

Regardless of their result, I would like to share that the school received an email today from a member of the community praising the girls for their manners and behaviour when walking through Artarmon . It is always great to have positive messages from our community and we should all be very proud. Well done girls.
