Additional measures in response to COVID19
We are initiating more actions to support the safety and health of our community. As the situation evolves, we will continue to keep you updated and support you;
- We are encouraging parents to use the Kiss and Drop in the mornings.
- Kindy, PP and Year 1 Parents, we are asking you to say goodbye to your child outside the classroom as this will enable us to reduce the number of adults inside the room.
- We are asking parents to leave the school promptly after drop off and pick up to assist with adult social distancing expectations.
- Teachers will continue to take sensible measures in the classroom.
- If your child is absent, the best way to notify the school is via a short text (SMS) message to 0408 934 134. Please include the child’s name, TA and the reason for the absence.
- We have initiated a number of actions to support the safety and health of our community. Separate recess and lunch times are being held for Kindergarten, Pre-Primary to Year Two and Years Three to Six. This ensures there are less children together at any one time.
- Assemblies for the remainder of Term One have been cancelled. Assemblies in Term Two will be reassessed when the time draws nearer.
- Many of our events have, regrettably, been cancelled. We understand that many of our students will be disappointed and we share that sentiment. Where possible, some events may be rescheduled in the future.
- The following events have been cancelled:
- Faction Athletics Carnival (20th March). School will continue its normal timetable on this day.
- LADDs Beach Safety (scheduled for 21st March)
- Carnival in Currambine / Food Truck evening (scheduled for 27th March).

- Staff are re-enforcing the importance of hand washing and hygiene with all students. We would ask parents / caregivers to also re-enforce this message at home. Our school cleaners have been asked to ensure soap is checked and filled in toilets every day, which is the usual practice.
- Together Towards Tomorrow Kindness Campaign. We’ve been thinking about ways to help our children and wider community to feel more positive by focusing on things we can control, such as being kind. Please follow our Facebook Page (@CurrambinePrimarySchool) as, in the coming weeks, we’ll be providing ideas on how we can all make a positive impact in our community.
