We hope you have all enjoyed your summer holidays and are all set for Term 1 to commence on Mon 31 Jan.
As you will be aware, public health and social measures are in effect for the Perth and Peel (including Rottnest Island) and South West regions, details at wa.gov.au. This includes the requirement for masks to be worn while indoors at school in these regions.
That means teachers and staff in our school will need to wear masks indoors. Primary students are not required to wear a mask, but are encouraged to do so. You might want to let your child know that they will see staff wearing masks, and that teachers may take their mask off when teaching. Our staff will explain to our students the importance of wearing a mask as together we work through this transition. You can choose for your child to wear a mask indoors and that is allowed.
I want to assure you that the health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority and we will continue to follow the latest WA Health advice at healthywa.wa.gov.au.
Class lists will be on display on Friday 28 Jan after 2pm in the classroom windows lining the Quad. We ask that Parents scan the SafeWA QR code when entering the Quad and wear masks.
Thank you to all students and parents for your understanding and support during these times.
For information please see the latest factsheet on https://www.vasseps.wa.edu.au/download/8601/
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school on 9746 3700.
