We wish to acknowledge those families who have lost a family member or friend in the recent weeks.
We wish to acknowledge all of the people who have assisted all to; be safe, have food, shelter, shelter, warmth and love.
We wish to thank ALL the Level 4 workers and their families who have bravely and cautiously face each day and situation to care for the rest of us.
As we spend this time also remembering the ANZACs and other people who have been involved in many different conflict situations, we know we cannot join as we normally would together at Dawn by the cenotaph.
We know that as a Nation we will stand at the end of our driveway,

If your child is sick, they must not come to school. If your child is going to be absent, please ring, text or email they are going to be absent.
If your child requires medication, you will be permitted entry to bring it to the office.
If you are entering the Office, please adhere to our Hygiene regulations.
Please know that ALL Inglewood Primary Staff have been working really hard to assist L4 & L3 workers return to work.
We have asked ALL our Staff who have children and cannot extend their bubble, to stay home to ensure we work within the rules of having as few people onsite under L3 as possible.
Thank you to all the families who have worked really hard to extend their bubble, so our IPS bubble is as small as it can be, safely.
All Inglewood Primary School Staff have been very happy to contribute to doing their bit for the Nation, just as L4 workers have done thus far.
Thank you to all.
