Focus Newsletter

From the Principal

After saying our previous issue of Focus would be the last one of Term 1, we have changed our minds and decided to send out a newsletter today as there are a few bits of important information to communicate.

2024 Curriculum Days 

At the March School Council Meeting, our three remaining curriculum days (pupil free days) for the year were confirmed:

Term 2: Monday 24 June

Term 3: Friday 13 September

Term 4: Friday 6 December

Nearer the time we will advise families if TheirCare will be operating a program on these pupil free days.

Foundation Enrolment 2025

If you have a younger sibling to enrol for Foundation next year,  we now invite you to submit a completed enrolment form to apply for a place for your child in Foundation 2025 at Parkdale Primary School.

 

What you need to do:

  • Submit an enrolment form for Foundation (Prep) by Friday 26 July 2024.  You can download the form HERE, and we have also attached a copy.  This form is an editable pdf, so can be completed and submitted as a ‘soft copy’. 
  • All siblings (living at the same residential address) will be guaranteed a place at Parkdale Primary, even if they live out-of-zone; but you will still be notified of the outcome of your application between Monday 29 July and Friday 9 August 2024. If you receive an offer of placement, you should contact our school to accept the offer by Friday 23 August 2024. 
  • Attend our Foundation 2025 Information Night on Monday 22nd April: 5.30pm – 6.30pm (in the school gym).
  • Take part in enrolment information and transition sessions during Term 4, 2024; starting with a Transition Parent Information Evening in late October (dates will be confirmed with your enrolment confirmation letter). 

Enrolment applications submitted after 26 July 2024 will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the department’s Placement Policy.

 

Take the time during the holidays to complete your child's enrolment form and then submit by one of the methods below:

For guidance on the Foundation enrolment process and frequently asked questions please refer the Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Pack for Parents/Carers, a copy of which can be downloaded HERE.

Happy Holidays

If your family celebrates Easter, we hope you enjoy the festivities. We wish all of our Parkdale Primary families a restful term break and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday 15th April.

 

 

Kind regards
