NICS News Week 4, Term 2

From the Principal’s Desk

From Monday, May 16, classes will return to normal, timetabled lessons for all year groups. Students are expected to attend as regular lessons recommence, and only those isolating or unwell will be completing the learning@home resources. I encourage students to wear masks while at school, and follow social distancing and hygiene practices. The school will continue to provide masks, sanitiser and will maintain the additional COVID-cleaning which occurs throughout the day.
