Last term our Year 5 and 6 students entered in the SAPSASA soccer and netball events. 

On the 7th of May 2024 Clovelly Park Primary School and Ascot Park Primary School formed a joint girls’ team and competed in the District Netball Gala Day. They had a total of 5 games against different schools. 

On the 18th of June 2024 Clovelly Park Primary School entered a team of 14 boys in the District Soccer Gala Day. They  also had a total of 5 games against various schools. 

Both days the students displayed our school values of being kind, courageous, thoughtful, inclusive and responsible. They should be extremely proud of their efforts and the way they represented our school on and off the court.

Congratulations to the following students: 

Attendance and Lateness: A Friendly Reminder

We all have those mornings when things don't quite go as planned and our children end up being late to school. It happens! Occasional lateness has little impact on our children's learning; in fact, it can teach them valuable lessons about resilience and adaptability. What does significantly affect their learning and ability to engage in school is consistent or frequent lateness.

Our school gates open at 8:30 am, with classes commencing at 8:45 am. At 8:45am, students participate in a 'morning routine', where they receive important messages, connect with peers, and prepare for a day of learning ahead. The infographic below illustrates just how much learning time is lost due to late arrivals.

So, how can parents and carers support?

• Establish a consistent daily routine that supports the importance of school attendance. Ensure your child gets adequate rest, enjoys a nutritious breakfast, and is mentally prepared for the school day. Remember, our breakfast club is available every day to all students between 8:30 am and 8:45 am.
• Maintain open lines of communication with the school. Promptly addressing any concerns that arise can help prevent attendance issues from escalating.
• Foster a positive outlook towards school by highlighting its exciting aspects to your child. Encourage them to view each day as an opportunity for growth and discovery.
• Recognise and celebrate your child's achievements, no matter how small. Positive feedback can inspire them to prioritise punctuality and engage more actively in their learning.
• Whenever possible, schedule appointments outside of school hours to minimise disruptions.
•  Utilise our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program between 7:00 am and 8:30 am to streamline your family's morning routine. A friendly reminder that students should be booked into Before School Care if they are arriving at school before 8:30am.
