Dear Parents

Welcome back to Term 2, a term that has definitely started in a very unique way.

At the outset I sincerely want to thank our community and the staff at Jurien Bay District High School. The support we have received and the way staff have adapted has been fantastic. All of our staff (even those deemed by the Chief Medical Officer to be vulnerable) have insisted on being at work and the quality of the first work packs prepared was outstanding. I have heard some very different stories from colleagues but in all everyone at our school has been understanding and positive throughout.

We currently are catering for students at school and those who are remaining at home. The students at school are participating in a full regular timetable whilst those at home have work packs and access to support from staff.

The school is very conscious that life is different. Our governments, both state and federal, have done a fabulous job addressing COVID 19 to ensure our safety. At the moment modifications in place at school include:

• Additional cleaning staff and regular cleaning of high use areas
• No assemblies, camps, excursions or onsite visitors
• Changes to pick up and drop off
• Full Physical Education program but no contact sports
• Increased focus on personal hygiene

This all said, the students who have returned are clearly happy to be back, mixing with friends, receiving in class support and seeing their life return to normal. The government will be reviewing the current arrangements in Week 3.

Within the school we are looking at several major improvements to sustain the school into the future. The primary basketball court will be upgraded following the success of a similar project on the secondary court last year. We are also looking at installing solar panels to reduce our electricity bills. The initial cost of installation will be high but we anticipate savings in excess of $25,000 each year, all of which will be available to spend in other areas of our budget. The system will also have the capacity to add batteries should they become economically viable in future years.

Thank you to everyone for your support, we look forward to the end of the current restrictions and a return of all students to school.

Jurien Bay District High School uses a communication service which includes a free smartphone app – School Star. School news, newsletters, event invitations, notices and general messages will now be sent through School Star.

Only Jurien Bay District High School parents and community members can access content in this highly secure app.

Keeping parents and the community informed is very important to us and we will be regularly uploading content to School Star. You will receive up-to-date current information, newsletters and important announcements within minutes of the school releasing the information.

With School Star, you get the following benefits:

• Receive school news immediately, via the news feed.
• Filter your news feed to see just the news that relates to your child.
• Receive important messages from the school through School star, instead of by SMS
• Reply or send your own message(s) to the school for free, day or night.
• Find the phone number to call the school, quickly and easily.

We hope you enjoy using School Star. Watch this space for updates and new features that will make communicating with the school even easier. We look forward to improving our communication with you.

Student Absences

If your child is going to be absent from school please phone the school office from 7.45am on 9688 6100 or send an SMS to 0407 384 038. Any unexplained absences will be sent through an SMS via School Star asking for an explanation of absence.

Buses

The buses are currently very full with students travelling and there is no guarantee that there will be room for extra students. Please do not presume it will be okay. Check with the bus drivers first as they would hate to have to refuse a student.
