STAYING HEALTHYOur school is vigilant in implementing the depart-ment’s infection control measures. We continue to promote regular hand washing and sanitising and staff and students who are unwell are not to attend school. Students who are absent or sent home from school due to showing even the mildest flu symp-toms need to be COVID tested. Students must not return until they have a negative COVID result and are no longer showing symptoms. Schools must sight the negative COVID result.

NEW FLAGPOLESWe are proudly flying the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags on our new flag poles. Each flag gives us insight into the ideas and values that represent our nation. Understanding the symbolism and colours of flags help to explore what each of the flags represent.150 LAPTOPSThere was much excitement when our new laptops and trolleys arrived at school. This set of laptops and trolleys will compliment the existing laptop banks that our hard working P&C have purchased over time.Laptops in the classroom are an effective tool for teaching and learning and students are able to utilise these to support the teaching that takes place in their classrooms.Each student at Narrabri Public School engages in weekly digital technology lessons. These lessons enable them to understand the importance of digital citizenship and how to use digital technology to enhance their learning. Providing digital skills supports our students to embrace future focussed learning.NEW RESTRICTIONSWith new restrictions it has meant there have been changes put into place for the health and safety of students, staff and families. The school will continue to keep families informed by our newsletter, Facebook page and app. Thank you for your cooperation.

YAAMAACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the land I work on as the first people of this country. I would also like to pay respect to Elders past and present of the Gamilaraay Nation and extend that respect to all youth today, as they are our future generation.

KINDER 2021 TRANSITION - LIVESTREAMEDWhat an amazing response we had to our first Kindergarten Transition livestream on Facebook last Thursday. Unfortunately, with the new restrictions we are unable to have our preschoolers onsite and we still want the chance to link with our families. Each week Mrs Brooks and Mrs Young will livestream to our families via Facebook and share with the children an activity. We are posting out a special package to each student with the activity in it. Don’t miss this week’ livestream this Thursday at 2:15pm.

If you need to contact us in the canteen our number is 02 6792 1925. I have been advised we will be getting the new nbn next week in the canteen.

We hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Thank youKim Owens - Supervisor and Nikki Finn - Assistant
