Mother’s Day - Thank you
A special thank you to our School Parent Committee and parent volunteers who organised a beautiful selection of Mother’s Day gifts for our students last Wednesday, along with the delicious breakfast on Friday.
The students were very excited to select a special gift and celebrate the important role mothers and grandmothers play in their lives. We hope all our mums, grandmother and special women had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Winter School Uniform
A reminder all students are now required to wear their winter uniform.
Boy’s winter uniform: A long sleeve school shirt with long grey pants or shorts.
Girl’s winter uniform: School tunic/navy pants with a long sleeve shirt and navy tights or socks.
Black school shoes are to be worn by all students.
All students are required to wear a hat every day.
Students are reminded to wear their sports uniform only on designated sports days.
Please make sure all uniform items have your child's name on it, i.e. Hats, and Jackets as we can not return lost items if there is no name on them.
- School uniforms can be purchased from Claudine's at Caringbah.
- A second hand uniform shop operates from the school monthly.
- School hats, bags and library bags can be purchased from the school office.
We're taking it in our stride on Friday, 22nd May
A reminder that Walk Safely to School Day will take place on Friday, 22 May.
Students are encouraged to:
walk all the way to school with a parent/carer
be dropped a few blocks away and walk the rest of the way
walk from a friend's house or nearby bus/train stop
Every student who participates will receive a special tattoo and a Mercy Card as they enter the gate.
Students who usually ride to school are able to ride on this day and will still receive their tattoo and Mercy Token.
Student Attendance
School attendance plays a critical role in enhancing the lives of students in schools. Every day of attendance adds to a student’s academic achievement and success at school, and conversely every absence, can impact their learning and progress.
Regular late arrivals to school and early afternoon pick up times can also have an impact on a child’s academic progress.
Consistent attendance not only improves student outcomes but helps students build
relationships and confidence.
Reasons for student absence must be provided within 7 days of the absence via COMPASS. A Student Attendance Plan may be implemented for those students who have consistent late arrivals and early dismissal times from school.
