Onsite Student Attendance Registration

We understand how difficult it can be to manage working from home as well as supervising your child’s learning, however we are requesting your support to limit the risk of COVID-19 by having your child learn from home, rather than school, unless you absolutely have no other option.

As we continue to plan for supervision of students who must attend school it is vital that we schedule only the minimum number of required staff members each day. This is to ensure we meet the direction provided by Catholic Schools NSW and NSW Health.

As previously communicated, if it is absolutely necessary for your child to attend school for onsite supervision on any day between now and the end of Term, the CEO requires you to complete the form below:

Students Who Are Unwell

Please do not send your child to school if they are sick, even if you are an essential worker.  All children who have flu like symptoms must stay at home until they are symptom free and with a COVID clearance.

School Fees

The latest school fee statements have been forwarded to families via email from the Catholic Education Office. Attached to this school fee reminder email was information from the CEO regarding Deferred Payment Option and Fee Concession Applications in the case that families are experiencing difficulty due to COVID19.

The school asks that you do not ignore your current school fee statement.  The school fully understands that in the current climate families are under financial pressure, please remember we are here to help.  The school is here to assist, you just need to communicate this. Please email the school via info@spcdow.catholic.edu.au or alternatively call the school on 46548900 and ask to speak with Mrs Bronwyn Roberts all communication is confidential.

School Based Fees – 2022

This year the school trialed supplying all requirements for a student’s pencil case in addition to previously supplied school based resources.  After careful consideration the school has decided not to continue with this initiative.

How will this affect you?

In 2021 the school-based resource fee increased for the first time in many years from $150 to $185 to cover the additional resources the school was providing.  For the 2022 school year this fee will decrease to $170 as the school will no longer provide all items in a student’s pencil case only the essential items of pens and pencils all other items the school will expect the parent to purchase including the pencil case.  A full list of requirements will be sent home to parents in term 4.
