Year 1 Information

Term 1

Welcome to Term 1! We hope you all had an exciting holiday. We are raring to go with the new year. We encourage all parents and carers to check the newsletter each week to view all the exciting events that are happening in Chatswood Public School. 

 

Attendance - It Matters

Please submit all absence notifications via the School Bytes application. 

 

Applications for international/domestic travel for 5 days or longer must be requested via the school office, with an “Extended Leave - Travel” form completed and provision of flight details.

 

If your child is away for consecutive days due to sickness, please notify the teacher via School Bytes for each day your child is absent. You may be asked to provide a medical certificate for absences 3 days or more. 

 

Students can be dropped to school any time from 8:30am-8:55am. If you arrive to school after 9am, please visit the office to sign your child in. The school day ends at 3pm and students must be collected from the COLA  at 3pm. If you are unable to collect your child on time, you can enrol them in After School Care.

 

The CPS Behaviour Expectations

The three behaviour expectations at Chatswood Public School, were developed through consultation with students, staff and parents, and collated to develop the following:

  • I care for myself
  • I care for others
  • I care for the environment

Uniform

Summer Uniform - Term 1 & Term 4 

Students change from summer to winter uniform by latest Week 2 of Term 2.

 

Winter Uniform - Term 2 & Term 3 

Students change from winter to summer uniform by latest Week 2 of Term 4.

 

Please ensure your child wears layers on top of their school uniform with a jumper or jacket so they can take it off as the day warms up. 

 

The school has a year-round “No Hat – Play in the Shade” policy in place. Students without a uniform hat are required to remain in a supervised shaded area during outdoor activities.

 

Crunch & Sip

Crunch & Sip is a set time during each school day for students to eat vegetables or fruit and drink water in the classroom. It runs for approximately 10 mins at a time of day determined by your child’s class teacher. Please pack a small piece of fruit or vegetable every day, that your child can munch on during this time. They can also have a drink of water.
