The School’s sporting teams have been going well, and with three fixtures remaining to finish the season, along with the Head of the River regatta on 22 March there are still opportunities to come along and support the boys. Tonight, we wish all students involved in the PSA Swimming Inters the best of luck. Tickets are limited to parents of swimmers and a small group of senior students who will be cheering loudly in the stands. For all those at home, you can view the action online here.
It seems a little early in the year to be speaking about sickness, but the absentees clearly indicate that a range of viruses are present in our community. Whilst we don’t want to experience a pandemic situation again, we do know that hygienic practices and management of sickness, by remaining at home while infectious, reduces the spread of sickness. We all need to be thoughtful around our practices to reduce the spread of sickness and to protect ourselves. Please reinforce with your sons’ the hygiene practices that will assist in keeping the community healthy as I have done so in assembly today.
Student safety and traffic management around the school precinct are constant concerns for our community. All too often, we have a spate of near misses involving students crossing major roads within the vicinity of the school. Students received another reminder this morning to stay off their mobile phones when walking or riding to and from school and especially when crossing roadways. This also includes not having headphones on. Your support in reiterating this with your son/s would be appreciated.
