Corona Virus Update
School Commencement Postponed

Dear Families,

You are likely already aware that a hard lockdown is now instated for the Perth metropolitan, Peel and South-West regions of Western Australia, from 6 pm tonight (Sunday 31st January). This hard lockdown will come into effect as part of the WA Government's response to a confirmed case of COVID 19 in the community. Please refer to the press release for further information.

Essentially, all schools are closed this week, including Regent College. I understand this is likely to be highly disruptive and frustrating for families. Unfortunately, we cannot offer on-site supervision for any students at this stage. However, we await further guidance from WA health authorities to ascertain whether there is any scope for supporting families of essential workers in the coming days.  

Kindergarten families, please be advised that the scheduled parent/teacher meetings for this coming week will be postponed and we will keep you updated concerning staggered starts and meetings for the next week (beginning Monday 8th February). 

We will be working to reactivate our Distance Learning options. As we've not yet commenced the school year, the most likely approach will be for teachers to connect with students on Wednesday to welcome them to the school year. More details to follow on Tuesday 2nd February.  

We are deeply disappointed that we won't be able to see you in person tomorrow. Please reach out to us by phone or email. There will not be any staff members on site tomorrow.

Connect with us:

• 9470 4569 (school hours - the line has been diverted offsite)

IMPORTANT - We are moving to TASS for communications

You may have received this information twice (ie through an email generated through TASS as well). In future, all communications concerning our COVID response will be shifted to TASS. On this occasion, if you did NOT receive the other email, you will need to check your spam folder and adjust your settings. If you experience any difficulties with communication, please contact the College via the email, above. 

Warm Regards,
Derek Nicholls
Principal
