Virtual Assembly

Our first assembly for 2022 was held on Friday 18 March. The students below were awarded Successful Student Awards. Congratulations to them all.

Our next virtual assembly is this Friday 8 April. Parents and carers of those students that will be receiving an award have been contacted with a text message. Instructions on how to watch the assembly online will be sent to all parents via Dojo.

Horseshoe Kiss 'n Ride

For the safety and convenience of all kiss 'n ride users, please remain with your vehicle at all times. This is strictly a NO PARKING area.

If you arrive late to school and wish to accompany your child/ren to the office you must park in designated parking areas not in the kiss n' ride as it inconveniences others who are using the facility correctly.

To avoid a back up of cars in the driveway and congestion on Giralt Road a "No Right Turn" sign has been erected leading onto Giralt Road at the exit of the driveway. Please take note of this and only turn left utilising the roundabout at Addington Way to continue in a Northerly direction on Giralt Road.

Parking

We have had complaints from the residents on Giralt Road directly opposite from the school regarding parents parking on their front verges. It is also a safety concern with people crossing there instead of the designated crosswalk a little further along Giralt Road. Our school is fortunate to have the use of the Marangaroo Gold Club parking area with direct access to the school grounds. Please respect our neighbours and use this carpark or the bays on Addington Way if you are driving to school and walking your children to their classroom.

Online Payments

Voluntary Contributions

Thank you to those families that have already paid their voluntary contributions for the year.

The amount asked from parents is determined by the School Board each year. The monies available are used to offset the cost of photocopying, ICT charges and the replacement of non-consumable books and items that students use in class e.g. reading books. The total amount of contributions parents and carers are being asked to pay for students is $60 per student – this is the maximum amount set in the School Education Regulations. Families with two or more children are asked to contribute $120 per family. Our P&C can also be included with an amount of $20 per family.

Payment can be made at the front office with cash or card, or by direct deposit to our bank account. Our bank account details are provided above under the Online Payments heading.

Soccer Clinic

Football West will be conducting a clinic on our school oval in term 2. How convenient to not have to travel to another destination for a sporting activity. All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are invited to join in. Please refer to the Community Notice Board of this newsletter for all the details.
