Dear members of the Blackfriars OSHC Community

Earlier this afternoon a letter was sent to the entire Blackfriars community from Principal, Mr Simon Cobiac, with the latest information and precautions surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus). This letter is available in the Newsroom on the Blackfriars website.

Following is some information specific to OSHC to accompany this earlier advice.

OSHC routines will be adjusted to allow for more time spent outside (weather permitting).
We will be actively mentoring students maintaining a reasonable distance between them in their play. This will be aided by no ball games including football, soccer, cricket, handball, basketball, etc.
Group activities will be staggered to minimise the number of students in close proximity at any given time and designated play areas will be assigned.
Sign-out registers will be located outside Frassati Hall. Parents / caregivers are asked not to enter the Hall until further notice.
- Please use hand sanitiser provided before using pens at the sign out register.
Please refer to the OSHC Hygiene Practises letter distributed last week for the best advice on maintaining good personal hygiene
As of Monday 23 March, and until further notice, Blackfriars will not operate the before school and after school OSHC bus service. Rosary and St Dominic’s families are asked to make alternative transport arrangements from next week in order to attend OSHC at Blackfriars.
Please note that Vacation Care will not be offered in the April school holiday period.
In the event of a school closure at Blackfriars, all OSHC programs will cease operations until further notice.

As per the main letter sent today, if you have any questions, or are directly affected by COVID-19, please contact me:

Please stay informed with updates via SEQTA, the school website and our social media channels.

Yours sincerely

Rita Quaini
OSHC Director
