Return to Classroom Learning
Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers
The Victorian State Government has announced that Victorian school students located in metropolitan Melbourne will return to face to face learning.
This means that on Friday 11 June 2021, all students at St Clare's Primary School will return to face to face classroom learning and will be expected to attend school as normal.
I wish to reassure you that the safety and wellbeing of our school community will remain our highest priority with measures implemented for the safety of students and staff.
Both staff and students who are unwell must not attend the school. This includes those showing even mild symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).
People who have any symptoms of COVID-19, however mild, should seek medical advice and get tested immediately. The symptoms to watch out for are:
- loss or change in sense of smell or taste
- fever
- chills or sweats
- cough
- sore throat
- shortness of breath
- runny nose.
In certain circumstances people may also experience headache, muscle soreness, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Given the regulations remain around density limits and social distancing we shall return to no parents onsite and the Drop Off and Pick Up of students from the designated Kiss & Drop Zones and Pedestrian Gates. We will continue to imit non-essentail visitors to school premises. Any visitor, contactor, parent, guardian or carer that does enter the school buildings must "Check In' with the QR code to record all visitors in the support of contact tracing.
I appreciate that Remote Schooling has been a challenging time for all and I thank all our parents, guardians, carers and the wider school community for their hard work and support during this time.
If you require assistance or additional support, please contact the school on 5940 6777
Yours sincerely
Helen Staindl
Principal
During our Google Meet on Tuesday we talked about NAIDOC week.
While everyone has been in lockdown and learning from home we have been lucky enough that the constuction works have continued at school.
We are also very excited to announce that there will be an additional supervised school crossing being installed on Majestic Drive over the upcoming school holidays.

PAM - Parent Access Module
Thank you to the majority of parents who have set up and accessed their PAM account. All parents MUST have access to PAM. This is the portal that we will be using for all communications between school and home.
Semester 1 reports will be shared with parents atthe end of this term via PAM, therefore it is VITAL that all parents activate their account if you have not already done so.
If you are having any issues please email admin@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au
Here is the link for the St Clare's Parent Access Portal (PAM)
You username is the email address that you have registered with the school. The first time you log in we ask that you use the forgotten password feature to set your own password.
ALL parents must access PAM to receive up to date information and grant necessary permissions. Students will miss out on events if permission is not granted.
MEDICAL INFORMATION - When you update your child's medical information in PAM - PLEASE ensure this is accurate. The school must have current up to date asthma, allergy, anaphylaxis or medical plans for those students identified with these conditions and any other medical conditions such as diabetes or epilepsy. This is to ensure we have relevant information to assist your child with the management of these medical conditions.
SKOOLBAG is no longer being used. To report student absence please use PAM, email absent@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au or call 5940 6777
Please ensure the school has your current contact details - this includes address, email, work numbers etc. To update details please email admin@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au or call 5940 6777. Through PAM parents are also able to update your child's medical details.
SCHOOL FEES
School fee statements have been emailed to families. Please note that term 2 fees are now due and payable. If you have a direct debit there is no need to do anything.
If you situation has changed and you now have a Pension or Health Care Card please contact the office as we can assist you with your fees.
Likewise if you are having difficulties with fees please contact finance@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au to arrange a time for a confidential discussion.
