Hats

Please help us to help your child. It is hot on the William Cowper Campus and we need to ensure we are being as sun safe as possible. Please ensure your child is wearing their hat from the moment they step out of the house, to the moment they walk back in, in the afternoon. Not only is this a good sun safe habit, it is part of our uniform policy to ‘wear a hat from door to door’.

-  P-2 play hat everyday

-  3-6, dress hat with dress uniform and play hat with sports uniform

Car park

Students are not to walk to the carparks, unaccompanied. If you wish to collect children, without using Kiss and Drop, you must park and walk onto the campus and cross the crossings with your children. Staff only man the crossings when there is bulk movement of students. Please do not park, especially in the lower car park and expect your children to walk out and meet you in the car.

Crossings

When driving on campus, please ensure you adhere to the road rules relating to pedestrian crossings. Please give way to pedestrians to on the crossing, especially in the Kiss and Drop lane.

Preparing 2024

At this time each year we begin to make plans for the following year. Our Kindergarten and Prep orientation sessions have begun, and over the course of the term we participate in activities and events to prepare your children for the year ahead. Most notably on Friday 24th November:

-  Yr 6 Headstart Day into Yr 7

-  Junior School Bump Up Day for Prep to Year 5Students will all move up a year group on this day and new students will join their cohorts for a taste of Calrossy.

At this time, we also make plans for teachers and classes for 2024. This is a carefully thought-out process involving the students and staff. Students will nominate others who they can learn well with, and this forms a piece of the information we use to prepare the classes for 2024. We consider the academic ability, gender, current classes, friendship preferences or problems, suitability with the teacher, behavioural makeup of the class and overall cohesion. It is not without great thought and time. I commend this process to you as it is a very rigorous and considered. We do not involve parents or take parents requests for teachers or friendships. Our staff are across the needs of our students, and we invite you to trust us, having considered the needs of each child in the school and how they form an integral part of the whole Junior School.
