Absent Notes
If your child has been absent from school or remote learning this term, please send in an absent note as soon as possible, so that we can record an explanation, rather than an Absent without Approval.
Many parents would have received an email reminder with details of your child’s absent dates. Look for an email from Compass Chronicle <compass@compass.email>
Constable Kenny
Hello Everyone
Constable Kenny and I are missing you all during lockdown and we can’t wait for the day when we can return to schools.
However, in the meantime we realise home schooling can be a tough time for both teachers and children. So, to assist you all during this difficult period we have produced two videos for teachers that we hope will help you and most importantly put a smile on children’s faces.
The first video https://spaces.hightail.com/receivehZnNkIJXIJJ is a book video read from Constable Kenny ‘Why was that Emu wearing one red shoe’. Please note we only have permission from the publisher of the book Scholastic Australia to use this video book read until 30 September 2021. So feel free to use to use the video up and until that date.
The second video https:/wwwwyoutubee.com/watch?v=Lfj4Ezoqdz0 is a special message from Constable Kenny to children checking in on them during lockdown and praising them for the great job they are doing. We have also included an activity that they can consider doing thanking those that are helping keep us all safe (nurses, doctors, police etc). Have a look at the video and consider showing your children as part of home schooling and including the activity as part of your home schooling activities.
We hope these videos will assist you all during lockdown and home schooling.
Stay OK! Stay Safe!
Kind regards
DAVID
