Dear Members of the Kolbe Catholic College Community
Recently, we held a whole school assembly. I asked some staff to provide names of students who are contributing positively to the life of Kolbe and I read out their names and their contribution. The names are listed below. There will, of course, be many students that I missed. I hope we might be able to recognise them in future assemblies. We thank and congratulate:
Year 7
Year 8
Year 9
Year 10
Year 11
Year 12
It is the time of year when cases of cold, flu, and COVID-19 increase. We remind students and staff to keep safe by covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or elbow and washing hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. Hard surfaces at the College are being regularly cleaned.
Students are encouraged to carry a face mask with them. The College is ensuring enclosed spaces are well ventilated and have operable air purifiers, but students may wish to wear a mask as well. Hand sanitiser stations are available.
We ask that students stay home if they have symptoms, to help reduce the spread of illness within our community.
If your child is feeling well enough, we encourage them to stay connected with their schoolwork using the information provided on SEQTA for their classes. This will help them keep up with their studies during their absence. Our staff are here to help all students and will work with families to assist with missed assessments or any other concerns.
To prepare for the possibility of increased staff absences during this time and to keep our learning programs running smoothly, we will use the following strategies if needed:
We are sharing this information to keep our community informed about possible changes. We trust that all parents and families will help us maintain a healthy school environment for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support.
