Transition back to school

Please click here for the attached guidelines for families as we return to school-based learning and teaching in Term 2.

From Week 3 Term 2, we will begin a managed return to school. At Dural Public School this will involve different classes returning one day a week to receive face-to-face teaching with their class teacher. 

At all times:

• Schools are safe places for students, teachers and staff.
• All students engage with a single unit of work.
• Keep up-to-date with your school’s communications to make sure you receive important messages about timetable changes.
• Any identified cases of COVID-19 will continue to be managed in line with health advice, including temporary school closures where necessary.

For more information on the phased return to school see the Department of NSW Education website here.
