Year 7 Parent Gathering

Is your Year 7 child attending the Year 7 Social Activity  on Thursday April 4? Don’t want to go home only to turn around after an hour to come back for pick up? Why not have dinner with other Year 7 parents?

 

The Parent Committee has organised a get together on Thursday April 4 at 6pm while the Year 7 Social 'Amazing Race' is happening.

 

The special deal from the Bentley Hotel (1120 Albany Hwy, Bentley) is:

$15: Steak Sandwich OR Salad

$18: Fish N Chips OR Chicken Parmy

 

Please RSVP your name(s) AND order for the evening BEFORE 4pm on FRIDAY March 29 by calling Reception on 9350 5433 or via email aroberts@norbert.wa.edu.au (up to Monday April 1 at 9am).

 

Pre-ordering ensures quick service and the discount prices. Children are welcome (kids meal deals can be ordered on the night). PLEASE bring the correct amount (CASH ONLY) as no individual payments can be made on the night.

 

We look forward to having the opportunity to meet new parents of our Year 7 cohort.

 

Celebrating Mums and Grandmothers - SAVE THE DATE

The Parent Committee would like to invite all mothers and grandmothers to a light breakfast on Friday May 17 at 7.30am with their children. Further details will be provided next term.

Medication

Parents and students are reminded that the College is unable to give out any medication (eg. Panadol, Nurofen, antihistamine etc) unless it is an emergency. It is recommended that if students need non-prescription medication for headaches and allergies, that they keep a small quantity in their lockers.

Students Learning Early

The following process must be followed for a student to leave the College grounds during the day:

  • Bring a signed note from a parent explaining the reason for the early leave.
  • The note must be handed to the Homeroom teacher or Student Services for recording into SEQTA. An Early Leave Slip (pink) is to be filled out for the Homeroom teacher to sign.
  • The Early Leave Slip (pink) is to be handed to Student Services at the time of departure to be signed.

If a student is feeling ill during the day, they need to report to Student Services where they can make contact with their parents using the College phone. It is not appropriate for students to use their mobile phones or laptops to make contact with parents directly requesting to be picked up. We have limited resources and will therefore be unable to visit classrooms to inform students when their parents arrive. Full co-operation and understanding are requested from parents and students to ensure the safety of all our students and to limit interruptions to classes. Consequences may need to be used for students who do not comply with this procedure.

Interim Reports

Interim Reports will be uploaded onto SEQTA at the end of the term. Parents and guardians are asked to ensure that they have logged onto SEQTA and also provided the most up to date email details. Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews will be held on Tuesday May 7 from 12pm – 7pm. It will be a Home Study Day.

Term 2

TERM 2 commences on Tuesday April 30. Students need to return in Winter Uniforms. Please ensure that these are organised as soon as possible. Note the Uniform Shop opening times.
