Father's Day

  FATHER’S DAY – SUNDAY, 3RD SEPTEMBER

              As Father’s Day is fast approaching, we are in the process of preparing a variety of gift bags each to the value of $10.  Students will have the opportunity to order a bag to give to their father/carer on Sunday, 3rd September.  If you would like to purchase a gift bag, please use Compass Pay to proceed with your order and payment.  If you prefer to use direct debit, please ensure you use your child's name as the reference.  Our banking details are outlined below.  Unfortunately, we are not able to accept cash at this time.  Orders will be accepted until Wednesday, 30th August. As we only have a very limited number of gift bags, it is recommended you place your order as soon as possible.

Please be aware that supervision after 3:10 is only available at the office until 3:30.

Students remaining at school after 3:30 will be sent to TheirCare. 

There is a fee for this service is $26.29 plus a $4:00 late booking fee.

Student Clothing

Please label your child's clothing. All lost property is held in the communities, not in the school office. 

If an item of clothing is found with a student's name on it, it will be returned to them.

Early Pick up

Students should only be picked up prior to 3:10pm in exceptional circumstances. 

We ask that, wherever possible, you advise the teacher prior that this will occur so they can send the student up to the office at the appropriate time.

We suggest that students are not picked up during recess and lunchtimes as it can be difficult to find students in the yard at this time and may cause delays.

Parking

A reminder to all our families that Hume City Council has parking restrictions in the streets surrounding our school. Please adhere to the parking signage and obey the council regulations at all times. Hume City Council does regular patrols at school pick up and drop off times and you will be fined if you are parked illegally.

We realise there are many parents/ carers trying to pick up many students at the same time and we ask that you be patient and considerate of others and perhaps think about parking a bit further away and walking if you are unable to find a legal parking space which is safe for all concerned. Our students' safety is our priority at all times. We also ask that you respect out school neighbours by not parking across their driveways as this is illegal and dangerous, especially if there is an urgent need for that home owner to gain access to their property or leave their property. 

The sporting facility at the rear of our school is closer to being completed now that restrictions have eased and there will be parking availability in the grounds when that is open.

Staff Carpark

A reminder that the school driveway and staff carpark are not for parents/carers.

It is extremely unsafe to illegally park in these areas as it blocks access for emergency vehicles and/or staff needing to urgently leave the carpark.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THIS AREA
