In what seems like the blink of an eye, we’re well into the new year. 2022 promises to be a new normal for the community, as our children and students step up for their COVID-19 vaccination. With rising vaccination rates, we can look forward to slowly returning to the activities we all love, when the Safe Management Measures allow. I hope that parents reading this will consider the vaccine for your children to protect them. To readers who are not vaccinated, I also urge you to safeguard yourselves and your loved ones by stepping up to get jabbed. This simple act will ensure we each play a part in reducing the risk of getting and spreading Covid-19.
