From the Principal
We hope you and your family are staying safe during this extended holiday period. Please continue adhering to social distancing and remember in order to minimise the effects of COVID-19, these holidays are not for playdates, shopping trips, family outings etc. Term 2 At this stage, Term 2 begins for students on Wednesday 15th April 2020, unless advised otherwise. If transition to remote learning is required, all families will be notified by email and SMS. It is imperative that the school has up to date mobile phone numbers and email addresses for all families. If you need to update your details you can do so by leaving a voicemail message or emailing the school. If we undertake remote learning in term 2, the school email and voicemail messages will be closely monitored to ensure parents can contact the school and have specific queries answered. We will communicate any further information via an email or SMS directly to families and information will be available on the Coral Park Primary School Facebook page and website. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding at this time. It is fantastic to have a school community that supports each other during these challenging times. Justin Thompson Principal
Wishing everyone a safe term

STAYING INFORMED It is now more important than ever to ensure your contact details are up to date. It is essential we have contact details for our families in the case that we need to undertake home based learning. If we are required to conduct remote learning during term 2, our school phone and email will be checked and responded to regularly. You can leave a voicemail message or email which will be forwarded to the appropriate person to ensure our students can proceed with their education and our families can stay informed.

PREP CSEF UNIFORM PACKAGE In 2020, every Prep student who receives the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) payment is eligible to receive selected school items free of charge through State Schools’ Relief (SSR). Order forms and further information will be sent home next term and all order forms will need to be completed and returned by Friday 26th June. HOLIDAY BREAK The school holidays are a great time for kids to unwind and enjoy a change from their structured school day. Staying at home these school holidays will provide a fabulous opportunity for kids to enjoy free play and develop their imaginations. As well as participating in role play and imaginative games, encourage your children to read books, play board games and explore around the yard. If they are looking for additional activities over the holidays, consider cooking with them, playing some physical games or suggest they keep a diary. They can record things such as the weather, how they feel and develop their literacy skills by undertaking some creative story writing. There are some great ideas online which may appeal to your children, and of course they are sure to enjoy a family movie night at home on the couch!
We encourage you to maintain high levels of hygiene at home with your family in order to remain as healthy and safe as possible. Cover your nose when you sneeze, throw tissues away immediately after use and wash your hands often. Also clean frequently touched surfaces regularly, drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet.
