Air Quality Information - Helen Thew, Cross Campus Principal
Air Quality levels are posted on our Students’, Parents’ and Staff Firefly Dashboards.
Links to our policies and procedures can be found here.
Air Quality levels are automatically read three times a day: Early morning, 11.00am and 1.30pm.
To further understand what happens when air quality levels reach higher than normal levels, please access the presentation given to parents in November here.
Students may come to school wearing masks but they are not obligated to do so.
With our new pre-cooled, fresh air systems in place, students can then remove their masks when they come into class.

Reading
To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. —Victor Hugo
Thank you for your ongoing support with reading at home. A reminder that all students should be recording their reading in their journals and bringing them into to school to share with their teachers.
Recording can be as simple as recording the books they have read that week.
