Dear Parents and Carers,

Well we are back to “normal” whatever that means for us at St Gabriel’s. It is hard to remember what that is. We are still very mindful of keeping the students and staff safe as the return to school continues. Only essential services are permitted to come on site with proof of vaccination. Parents can bring students to the classroom door in the mornings but are asked to leave as soon as possible after that and not to congregate together on the school property. School is a place where the majority of the population i.e. school children, are not vaccinated. So far we have been very fortunate, however, with the increasing number of cases developing in the Latrobe City we need to be particularly vigilant. Please do not send your child to school if they are not feeling well.

As students return to school we are seeing lots of “variations on a theme” with regards to school uniform, including hair colour. Hair should be natural colours only please. Hopefully by next week all uniforms will have been found, dusted off and in some cases, hems let down, due to the growth spurts of some of our students!

We look forward to the remainder of the year working in partnership with you all.

Warm Regards

Ros

Roslyn Joyner
