Important Road Safety Reminders
A number of parents have raised with me their concerns around traffic safety on Burgess St and Tooronga Rd. Please take a few moments to consider the following:
- Take your time - nothing is more important than being safe on our roads and around the school.
- Use the Kiss and Go Zone to drop students but do not park in these areas
- Students must not exit cars that are not in a designated parking bay. The risk of letting your child/ren out while still in the lane-way is incredibly dangerous.
- All students and family members are asked to cross at the supervised crossing. Amy, our crossing attendant does a wonderful job and will appreciate your help with this.
- Observe all parking signs and road rules. The school will request attendance by Council Parking Officers or Vic Police if this continues to be a problem.
- Aim to arrive by 8:40am for drop-off and if your children are a little older, a 3:40pm pick-up from Burgess St is fine as staff are on duty till 3:45pm.
- Active transport is the best transport!
2025 Parent Payments & School Improvement Projects
As per the earlier XUNO message, the 2025 Parent Payments are now payable via XUNO. Your support has a direct and positive impact on classroom programs and is greatly appreciated.
School Improvement Priorities: The school has plans in place to redevelop a number of play and outdoor learning areas within the school (see Zone B master plan visuals below). These works will cost around $250,000 and will be funded entirely via donations and school fundraising activities like the Moonlight cinema and fun run.
In 2025, donations will help to fund the redevelopment of the junior sandpit area into an inclusive playground space (Zone B, Project A). With plans established last year, we look forward to progressively completing this project over the next 2 years (dependent on donations and fundraising initiatives).
