With the commencement of Phase 1 returning students to school from Monday 11 May, please refer to the following information to help prepare your children. Year Advisers will upload timetables, group lists and other relevant information to each year group’s Google Classroom in preparation for next week as well.
All staff at The Jannali High School are excited about the prospect of seeing our students at school again from May 11 and I hope our students are equally excited.

All students are expected to attend on their scheduled days. Parents are requested to notify the school by email in situations where their children cannot return to school from Monday, 11 May due to COVID-19.

Uniform
Students in Years 7-10 are able to wear their school sport uniform on their scheduled day. It must be the full sport uniform otherwise students are required to wear their full school uniform.
Students in Years 11 and 12 are to wear their full school uniform on their scheduled days.
Despite the nice Autumn weather our rooms are becoming colder so it’s important that students have the correct school jumper/jacket as well.
Our usual expectations regarding students’ application to learning, positive behaviour, respectful relationships with peers and teachers, attendance and punctuality, uniform and looking after the physical environment will be upheld with students returning to school.
We also need to be considerate of the wellbeing, health and safety of everyone in our school as school resumes over the coming weeks. We have therefore created a modified set of CARE Values and Expectations to support Phase 1 returning students to school.
In particular, we ask that all students observe our personal hygiene and social distancing protocols in learning spaces, toilets and playground areas. There are signs in key areas of the
school to remind students of these expectations. Seating areas have been marked to support social distancing in the playground and students won’t be sitting next to one another in learning spaces.
Enhanced Cleaning
Our school has received additional cleaning hours each day as part of the Department of Education’s Enhanced Cleaning Strategy. An intensive cleaning roster has been created so that all learning spaces, toilets, playground areas etc. can be cleaned regularly throughout each day to ensure the health and safety of all staff and students.
Canteen
Our school canteen will re-open as of Tuesday 12 May and of course all canteen staff will be following strict hygiene protocols for the preparation and serving of food and drinks.
Continuation of Learning @ THJS Programs
Students will continue with their Google Classroom units of work both at home and at school during Phase 1 as outlined in the Continuation of Learning @ TJHS Programs for Weeks 1-5 of this term. These programs will be reviewed and updated as we progress through the different phases of returning students to school.
Students will need to ensure they bring their device each day along with other equipment such as workbooks and pens.
To support this continuation of learning at our school we have developed some protocols and procedures for teachers of Year 11 and Year 12 who wish to conduct live video conferences with their classes. Click here to view the Student/Parent Protocols.
Mr Mark Brown, our Band Master has created opportunities for live video conferences for our school’s Concert Band to support the ongoing development for those students.

Thank you once again to all of our staff, students and parents for their ongoing support and understanding of our school as we work towards returning to usual operations over the weeks ahead.
