Kindergarten Visits
If your child is in one of our surrounding kindergartens, keep any eye out for Peregian Springs State School staff paying a visit. We take the time to head into kindergartens and make our faces familiar, as well as provide opportunities for children to engage with our teachers to ask questions about school transitions and share stories on what school is all about. These visits also provide an opportunity for our staff to talk with Kindergarten teachers to ensure that your child's social / emotional and learning needs are met as they transition to school.
COVID-19
We continue to take advice from Queensland Health in relation to novel coronavirus COVID-19. The latest information is available on the Queensland Health website at www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19.
Currently, COVID-19 Operating Guidelines for Queensland state schools advise us that we must continue to ensure any visitors, including parents and carers, comply with government health and safety measures. The most important of these are maintaining physical distancing requirements, good health and hygiene, and not attending our school if they are unwell. If you have visited an identified hotspot, or been overseas in the past 2 weeks you cannot attend in person at school.
