If your child is unable to do their school work remotely, (or not attend school if they are attending on-site) for any reason, could you please text the Student Absence Line: 0439 114 197, with the students name, room number and reason for absence. Your child's teacher will be notified of this information so rolls can be marked accordingly.

Parent Information Session –
PARENTING IN A DIGITAL WORLD
Our next parent information session will be a presentation from The Alannah and Madeline Foundation focusing on sharing information to parents and carers about our Online world. As a school we have noticed that a lot of our students are now accessing the internet for multiple reasons including remote learning. As a school we want to ensure that your children, our students are safe while they are on the internet.
More information will be available to you via email and school Facebook page in the next few days. Please note that this session is online only as we are mostly all working remotely from home.
Our next information session will be held Thursday 3rd of September at 9.30am via WEBEX. If you are interested in attending, please send me an email and I will provide you with the link to the meeting on WEBEX. My email address is Michelle.Zammit@education.vic.gov.au.
