Color Run
Next Thursday 7 November is the school's annual Color Run. This is the major fundraisers for the Parents Committee and one of the highlights of the year for the students.
Can I encourage all parents to register their child on the fundraising platform. From there students can go about fundraising amoung family and friends.
A reminder also that for every $50 raised the student receives one entry into the MEGA Wheel draw for the Razor Electric Scooter - what a fantastic prize going to one lucky student at the school.
Parking & Driving around School
Our heartfelt condolences go to the family and community of Auburn South PS for the loss of a treasured young student in tragic circumstances.
While we have no knowledge of the exact circumstances of this horrific accident, it does serve as a timely reminder to take great care while driving and parking around the school. We all know it gets pretty hectic out on the street before and after school time. So please keep calm, be patient and follow the regulations for driving and parking. Courtesy and respect out on the road will help prevent any tragic accident happening to any of our students or community members.
Photo Sharing
Can I reiterate to parents the policy on sharing photos from school:
- parents are advised to not publish, share or forward images in any form, including on social media, without the prior consent of persons whose children also appear in the images.
I cannot state this strongly enough - one slip up around a Family Court Order, a Protection Order, a privacy requirement, a court Violence Order, etc, means someones safety is compromised. We do not want this for our community
Are you Leaving??
At this time of the year there are always some families that are looking at alternative schooling, working and living arrangements. For whatever reason, if you are leaving the school please let us know ASAP. We always have high interest from people wanting to enrol in our school, so the sooner we know of any departures the sooner we can offer spots for 2025.
