A reminder - ELC and Junior School Picnic and Senior School Welcome Drinks 

We would like to remind you that we have two fun social events coming up for families - the ELC and Junior School Picnic on 4 March and the Senior School Welcome Drinks on 23 March.   

Please find more information, including sign-up details on the PFA page of this newsletter.

A reminder – dropping off and picking up around the School  

Please be respectful of our local and School community when parking/dropping off/picking up at and around the School. 

This includes not parking in School driveways, across crossings, across residents’ driveways, on nature strips and in No Standing and restricted areas. 

The local Council has been particularly active of late fining parents for parking across the crossing in Lillimur Road when dropping off and picking up children.

Please be mindful of parents waiting to drop off their children in the various zones around the School. 

If you could please drop your children off as quickly as possible and move on, regardless  of the time allowed, it will help reduce the level of congestion around the School and frustration experienced by waiting parents.

For parents of Senior School students, please consider parking or dropping them off from nearby streets to walk the short distance to School. 

Parents who are using the 25 minute parking areas to escort their children into primary school, please vacate the area once your child is safely dropped off.

This month on SchoolTV - understanding adolescence 

Adolescence is the transitional stage of development that is usually associated with the teenage years. During this time, they experience rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial growth which affects how teenagers feel, think, make decisions and interact with the world around them. 

Some parents may view adolescence as stressful or difficult. However, it does not need to be. Setting boundaries, implementing consistent monitoring and maintaining a strong and loving connection will help families adjust during this time.  

In this edition of SchoolTV, adult carers can learn how to guide and best support their young person as they transition through adolescence. 

If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the School for further information or seek medical or professional help.

Here is the link to this month's edition.
