Welcome back to 2017!

Routines

Students should not be arriving at school prior to 8:30am when Yard Duty begins.  For the safety of all students we ask that parents make arrangements so that children are not left unsupervised in the school yard. 

The school provides a before school care service to ensure that all students are supervised appropriately before 8:30am. Please contact the OHSC on 84435308 to arrange enrolment.

If there is an occasion when students arrive close to, but before 8:30am, it is expected that they wait on the seats next to the flag poles at the front of the school.

Torrens classroom doors will be opened at 8:40am allowing students to organise themselves for the day. If students arrive after 8:50am, they will be marked as late. If students arrive late, they need to sign in at the front office before coming to class. As mornings are busy times for staff, families are politely asked to make an appointment.

Developing independence is a major focus for the students in Torrens. Therefore we encourage them to take responsibility and organise themselves.

Classroom

           Agreements

During the first few weeks of term, all Torrens classes have been revisiting the Keys to Success and School Values. These have been used to develop Classroom Agreements.

All LNPS classes use six categories for devising their agreements: Learning, Safety, Treatment,  Communication, Conflict (Problem Solving) and Movement. 

Children have discussed and created agreements for each of these categories and a copy of the class agreements can be found in your child's  diary.

Children have also discussed consequences matched to the Classroom Agreements. All LNPS classes follow the same procedure to help those children not following the agreed expectations. These include:

      Warning

      Short Time Out Reflection

      Buddy Class Time Out

      Office Time Out

Parents will be asked to initial reflection sheets  sent home.

Communication

All students have a diary to assist them with organisation, record homework and allow for communication between home and school.

Parents can also communicate via email.  All absences must be explained.
