From the Principal
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I seek your understanding in relation to scheduling a ‘Pupil Free Day’ on Monday November 8th. Note that there is not a Pupil Free Day at the commencement of next term (Week 1 - school resumes on Monday 11th October as per usual in Term 4).
In essence, we wish to have as few people on site as possible to undertake final stages of the building works. It is envisaged that there will be many trucks coming and going with furniture deliveries on this day. As well, I have 3 quite large trees that need to be removed in order to commence demolition work later in the year (we will be replacing these trees with more suitable specimens for the Early Years Nature Play area).
Our Builders, Horizons Constructions, will also have total access to Stages 1C and 1D on November 8th as they undertake final works prior to building completion. St Pius X school staff are being asked to work off-site.
We will make OSHC available for the day for families who have no alternative care arrangements but we do want as few on site as possible as there will be restricted play space. If you are able to arrange care for your children, that would be a great help. For those needing to book into OSHC for the day, notification for this will be made early next term.
