Dear parents, students, and families,
|
We welcome you all, past and new families to our 2022 academic year at Zenon!
|
|
We are excited that our classes will be running face-to-face in the classroom this year as decided by the Department of Education. We are positive that our students will continue their learning uninterrupted and effectively, enjoying learning at school, developing friendships and physically participating in all language and cultural activities, Greek dancing and all that Zenon is preparing for them.
|
The teachers are all excited and waiting to meet the students on their first lesson and they are already participating in a Professional Development conference this weekend.
|
Our first day - Vasilopita - The Lucky New Year's Cake: Our first day will be a special one as we will cut the Vasilopita, the traditional New Year's cake which symbolises good luck and prosperity in the year.

GREEK DANCING: We are delighted that Mr Sotiris Sotiriou from Pegasus Dance school will be running our Greek dancing program.

Mr Sotiriou will be present at the school this week and will welcome the children with an exciting first dancing experience.
|
ADVICE - SHOES: Please ensure that the children come to Greek school wearing closed shoes or runners. No sandals or thongs allowed as these are not safe for dancing.
|
|
For everyone’s safety, please observe the following:
|
If your child or you are feeling sick, you should not attend Greek school. Please contact us if anyone in the family has symptoms or has been diagnosed with the virus.
|
- If you your child/ren has any Covid-19 symptom, for example flu-like symptoms, shivers, sore throat, breathing problems, loss of smell, or fatigue, you should keep your child at home.
- If you or your child/ren have been a close contact to any Covid-19 sufferer, you should not attend Greek school.
- Covid-19 policy: This policy is in place as guided by the Department of Education and enables us to operate safely and for the benefit of all students, staff and families. Details following this link - https://zenon-education.org.au/about-zenon/our-policies/covid-safe-policy/
