Week 5 - return to full time face-to-face teaching and learning at Marsden

Dear parents and carers,

Further to my brief note this afternoon I am writing to update you on the return to school from Monday 25th May, All students are expected to return to full time face-to-face learning at Marsden High School. This is in line with the Premiers’ announcement yesterday, Monday 18th May in regards to NSW Public Schools. 

Our students have been gradually introduced to the hygiene procedures and norms now in place at the school over the past two weeks. Whilst requirements to social distance do not apply in the classroom we are managing to distance ourselves wherever we can. For the moment there will be no assemblies, extracurricular activities, inter-school or internal sport until restrictions are relaxed by the Government. Canteen Facilities and the Uniform shop will be available when the students return. 

Further information detailing organisation, expectations and attendance at school can be found at:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PKi0DwDgAX1xlwQXNemftWYi2zGUsIOm/view?usp=sharing  

One difficulty the school may have to address arising from returning to school could be the traffic on Winbourne St and Brush Rd due to the similar start and finishing times as our next door neighbour Ermington Public School. Be mindful if you will be dropping off/ picking up your child/ ren at school, it would be advantageous to do this well before/ after our bell times. To gauge any potential problems we have sent a survey to your children through our Wellbeing Google pages today; please encourage your child to complete this survey asap. At this stage Marsden is not planning on implementing staggered start and finish times though this may become necessary, depending on congestion on the roads near the school. 

Thank you for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated. If we can assist you in anyway please feel free to contact us.

 

Kind regards,

Lance Berry
