Myki Cards for Public School Buses

Please ensure that children are using their Myki card correctly and that the card is topped up regularly; it is frustrating to see many students attempting to board their bus without any credit on their cards. Cards should be registered online and topped up regularly; too many children ask for a top up of only $2.

Positano Grove Pedestrian Crossing

The pedestrian crossing in Positano Grove next door to the school is now supervised. All children crossing Positano Grove must do so using the supervised crossing and obey all directions from the crossing supervisor.

My Aitken App

Many parents access My Aitken using a mobile device. This is best done using the App version for phones and tablets. Search for Firefly for Parents in the App store, enter the school code “Aitken” followed by your login credentials; user name aitken\IDnumber  and password as advised recently by letter. You will be able to access your child’s timetable, work tasks, assessments and feedback.

Traffic Safety for Children

Please note the following regarding the safety of children at drop-off and pick-up times:

• Children must not cross the internal ring road at any point other than the marked pedestrian crossing near the Gym. Please obey the directions of the crossing supervisor, who will use voice or whistle.
• When using the Gym car park, please hold your children’s hands to prevent them walking in front of cars.
• Please do not park in the car park between the windmills for drop-off or pick-up, as children are not permitted to cross the road there.
• Cars dropping off or picking up in the western parent car park must be parked in the marked bays; do not ask children to exit or enter a car that is not parked properly.
• Children must not walk across the roadway in the western parent car park to access cars; they should use the footpaths.
• Please do not attempt to enter the staff car park for drop-off or pick-up; it is not safe for children to cross the road.
• Parents, please model the correct behavior to the children by abiding by all rules above.
