Acting Principal's Views

From Mandy O'Mara

Dear Parents and Carers,

School Tours

We are very excited to announce that as of next term we will be reintroducing School tours for prospective families. We will also be opening Prep 2023 enrolments the week commencing 1st May. Prep enrolment packs can be collected from the office after this date.

 

Parent Helpers

Next term we will welcome parent helpers back into our school. We are looking forward to taking another step back to normal. If you are keen to volunteer as a parent helper please refer to the Parent Helpers Training info in this newsletter.

 

RA Tests 

As we move to the end of Term 1 we will be allocating the last of the RA Tests next week. We have been advised that RA Testing will end at the end of this term, but if that directive changes we will update all families.

We continue to encourage you to keep testing your child/children on Tuesday and Thursday each week.

 

Traffic Management

Over the past few weeks our staff have been reporting that they are seeing some very unsafe traffic behaviour.

A few reminders:

  • three-minute zones apply at drop off in the morning and pick up after school. 
  • double parking is illegal at any time. 
  • parking across and blocking driveways of homes that neighbour our school is illegal. 
  • parking on parklands and nature strips is not permitted. 
  • please encourage your children to use the crossings.
  • parking in the bus stop is illegal. 
  • consider parking a little further away from the school and walking the last 500 metres or so.
  • the speed zone around the school is 40kmh.
  • students should exit the car on the curb side only.

Whittlesea Council inspectors and the Police Highway Patrol will make random checks and issue infringement notices.

For the safety of all our students- please slow down, park correctly and adhere to road signs and rules.

 

Last day of Term 1

Please remember Term 1 finishes at 2:30 on Thursday 7 April.

The first day of Term 2 is Tuesday 26th April .

Kind regards,

Mandy O’Mara -  Acting Principal
