Geelong Advertiser - My First Year Photos
With the tremendous success of the Geelong Advertiser "My First Year" prep photo series, we are again offering Geelong region schools the opportunity to be part of a souvenir lift out and online gallery.
A photographer will be at Teesdale Primary School on Thursday 27th February at 11.30am
This is a free service and usually takes around 15 minutes per prep class. The first and surname of all students will be included on the photo. The classroom teacher will be asked to provide the full names to the photographer. Families who have not given permission for student's photos to be published to media will be excluded from the photo shoot. Should families have any questions, please contact your child's classroom teacher.

We Are a SunSmart School
Our Sun Protection Policy has recently been updated to ensure it connects with our accreditation as a Sun Smart School. As part of this update, we will be monitoring the UV levels to determine when hats need to be worn. Hats will continue to be required from mid-August to the end of April, and whenever UV levels reach 3 and above. We have begun to share this improvement with students through our Morning Message and recommend students have access to their hat each day at school.
