News From The Office
Student Absences
We now have the option to report a Student Absence when you call the school. Please select Option 1.
Please include your child’s name, date and reason for absence.
Alternatively please login to Compass to enter your child’s absence.
Uniform Screen Printing
Do you have school uniform items that need the school logo screen printed on them? We will be running a screen printing service at the end of Term 3. Forms have been sent home with the eldest child in the family this week.
Please drop off any shirts and/or jumpers you would like screen printed to the Office by 9am on Monday 11th September 2023. Items will be available for pick up on the first day of Term 4, Monday 2nd October 2023. The cost for the screen printing service is $6.60 per item. Please provide correct change.
If you have any questions regarding the screen printing, or require an order form, please contact the Office on 5229 9643.
Be SunSmart - No Hat = No Play
It is that time of the year when we need to ‘dust’ off our SunSmart Hat! All students are required to wear their Mano SunSmart hat from 1st September during all outside activities. This is part of the ‘Student Dress Code’ and ‘Sun Smart’ policies of our school. Students will be required to play in a designated shaded area if they don’t have their SunSmart hat. We are committed to maximising the skin health of your child – we thank you for your support with this.
Update Personal Details
Please update the Office if you have had a change to personal details. eg. address, phone number, emergency contact person. It is very important to have all your details up to date in case of an emergency with your child.
Student Absences & Late Arrivals
If your child arrives late to school they must be signed in by a parent/guardian and collect a 'Pass In' card at the Office. Please remember to telephone the Office and speak to either Georgia, Jacquie or Jessie when your child is absent from school or if you are aware of a prior engagement. Alternatively you can submit an absence approval on the Compass app.
Manifold Heights Primary School recognnises that there is a clear correlation between attendance at school and academic achievement - the research indicates that lower attendance leads to poorer learning and wellbeing outcomes. We take attendance very seriously at Mano and have a goal to have as close to 95% of student attendance as possible.
For more information regarding attendance please follow the link to the Department of Education's Attendance Policy.
