Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Families,

 

SAFETY AND RESPECT TRAVELLING TO AND FROM SCHOOL

As our new school year commences, I ask you all to take the time to travel to and from school safely and respectfully considering others. Respect is our overarching school rule and yet when it comes to behaviours of parents at pick up and drop off time some adults and our children need a gentle reminder.

The most problematic issues are quite regularly bought to our attention are: -

  • Parking illegally at pick up and drop off times
  • Parking in the Maramba Kindergarten carpark and obstructing the entrance and exit driveways for kindergarten drop off
  • Students and adults crossing the road dangerously in peak traffic times in preference to walking to our supervised crossings
  • Children riding too fast or without consideration for others on footpaths
  • Children riding their bikes across the school crossing, rather than dismounting and walking their bikes across the intersection.

 

I continue to encourage families with concerns to report these to the City of Casey Council. Council Traffic Safety Officers will continue to patrol our school and may use photographic evidence for enforcement purposes.  Being courteous and considerate to others and acting as a positive example for our students is so important.

 

EDUCATING ADULTS

Unfortunately, many issues such as speeding during 40Km per hour times and not stopping at the crossings whilst flags are displayed involve parents/carers of children currently enrolled at our school. It is important that everyone in our school community is SAFE, KIND, RESPECTFUL and RESPONSIBLE when it comes to the safety of our children.

 

 

Maramba Swimming Trials 

 

The morning of Thursday 18th February, a group of enthusiastic Maramba students and their parents woke up with the sparrows and made their way to Dandenong Oasis to try out for the 2021 Maramba Primary School Swimming Team. I was so impressed by their determination to succeed and each student should be proud of their efforts, I know I am! 

 

Well done to Dean, Kiara, Megan, Stevan, Kaylee, Lucas M and Bailey. You all did an amazing job and represented your school with pride. 

 

Kind regards,

Diane Morwood
