NEWS
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created a difficult and complex business environment for all organisation.

Whilst it all appears to be overwhelming at times, please rest assure that you are not in this alone – we’re right beside you as business owners, and as the chamber of commerce.

Whilst the Government continues to alter its response to the pandemic, to save spreading false news the Uralla Chamber will only be distributing critical information. I would encourage you all review the governments website which outlines support and requirements to continue trading: www.australia.gov.au/

The Chamber Movement, through Uralla Business Chamber and Business NSW (formerly NSW Business Chamber) has created a variety of tools and advice for those businesses who have joined us as full members. These range from letters to your landlord through to how to stand employees down if you’re unable to trade. Please also use your free advice line calls to their hotline and/or lawyers – 13 26 96. These can also be accessed free of charge (although registration is required) online at: www.businessaustralia.com/how-we-help/our-services/coronavirus-business-resources

During this time, we ask that as a community we support each other. Please check in on your neighbour, your friends and your family. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or down, and do not have someone to talk to, please contact the NSW Mental Health Line 1800 011 511, Lifeline 131 114 or Beyond Blue 1300 22 46 36 (full list of providers available here www.health.nsw.gov.au/mentalhealth/services/Pages/support-contact-list.aspx)

We’re in this together, and together we will make it through to the other side.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

Dear Parents/Carers

There is no doubt this past week has been difficult and stressful for everyone – students, teachers and families. As we continue to face the effects of Covid-19, we need to be mindful of our emotional wellbeing. Many in our community will be facing economic difficulties. Please contact the school if you need support. I personally thank all of our families and students who are working in supermarkets, chemists and others retail suppliers and in the medical and health care professions who are dealing with unprecedented demands.

I have been overwhelmed by how the staff at Uralla Central School have pulled together. They have been working hard to support students. Teachers have been putting in extra effort and time to prepare for online and remote learning should schools close. This morning many would have heard that the Premier has declared that schools will remain open but has urged parents to keep their children home. We are in the fortunate position of having implemented last year Canvas, our online Learning Management System (LMS), which will facilitate delivery of learning for students not attending. We were in the development phase with the LMS but will now scale up to meet the current need. At this stage I have a meeting at 2:00pm today that will hopefully provide all schools with greater clarity about the way forward.

My advice in the meantime:
1. Keep calm – there are lots of things outside our control. Let’s remember to focus on what really matters. School will continue to focus on being a calm place where students feel they belong and can learn – physically or virtually.
2. Be kind – we are all in this together. Reach out to help others who may be in need. Know that nearly everyone is feeling stressed and when we are on edge, we can be sharp when we do not mean to be.
