Principal's Message

Mrs Kaileen Carr

Attendance - We want to do all we can to be sure your child achieves their potential and enjoys being in school.

 

We know that school is the best place to learn. By attending school every day your child will get the most out of their learning and improve their career and life options.

 

When your child is absent it is important you let the school know, including the reason why, on the day or the day before. This helps make sure we know where our students are and offer support for you and your family if needed.

 

If you are having trouble getting your child to school every day or on time, please talk to our school staff so we can work together, because every day counts. 

 

Missing a day here or there may not seem like much, but absences add up and can negatively impact your child’s learning and wellbeing. When your child misses one day per fortnight, that's 4 weeks of missed learning in one year. Over an entire school journey this adds up to 1 year of lost learning.

COVID-19 is still circulating in the community. We can all minimise the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases by maintaining good hygiene practices at home and school.

 

Please contact the school if your child needs to miss school for any reason, so we can plan continued support for your child’s learning and wellbeing.

 

Mobile Phones - Please remind students that all mobile phones need to be handed into the office when they arrive at school and can be collected at the end of the school day. NSW Department of Education policy - Student Use of Mobile Phones in School - Policy statement 1, 1.1 Students are not allowed to use mobile phones at school, including during recess and lunchtime.
