A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks A Big Thank you! We have enjoyed an extremely positive start to the new school year. Thank you once again to all parents and carers for preparing your children so well. They are going ‘great guns’. Drop off and Pick up at the Senior School I think we have got it right! Thanks for sticking with the ‘training’. Yesterday 90% of you were out of the gate by 3:30 pm! We will continue to improve sight lines, markings etc. One change we need to make permanent is making the main entry ‘one way’. This means that the eastern gate will be entry only. Cars are to enter via this gate, proceed to the drop off/pick up area, and exit via the western gate. This change will ensure a smooth traffic flow and safer route for buses and parents alike. It is essential that vehicles do not park or stop on the front drive next to the buses, as this will stop all parents from leaving quickly. We will be making this area strictly ‘no parking’ to avoid congestion and ensure students entering and exiting the buses can do so safely. COVID-19 As advised, there are two cases to date. All protocols followed, and our students are ‘on the mend’. Rapid Antigen Home Testing (RAHT) Remember to test Sunday and Wednesday evenings. More test kits will be distributed on Friday. Class teachers will do this with your children so they will be in the school bag. If positive? Advise NSW Services as per Health directives, and please inform the College via the connect@ scotsallsaints.nsw.edu.au email address. Many thanks I am delighted with the excellent way our students are managing the COVID-safe back to school arrangements. So far, all is going well, and we are commencing all programs as expected. I pray it stays that way! Thanks again. Mr John Weeks Head of College & Chief Traffic Warden! Junior School Campus Preparatory School, Junior (Years K–6) 70 Eglinton Road BATHURST NSW 2795
