In the Morning before coming to School

1. Please apply sunscreen before coming to school and remind the children to apply more throughout the morning.
2. Students are also required to bring their morning tea and lunch with them. Depending on time, we will eat morning tea and possibly lunch at the park. 
3. It is crucial that the children drink lots of water, so please make sure they have a water bottle.
4. PUFFERS and EPI-PENS – please make sure your child has their own with them if required.
5. Please make sure students have been to the toilet prior to arriving at school. While there are toilets available at the park, we would rather avoid using them where possible.
6. Students will walk to Newtown Park in Class Groups.

Spectators

Due to COVID-19 restrictions no spectators will be permitted to congregate on the main oval, where the children will be assembled, or on the inside of the track boundary.  Thank you for your support.
