Semester Two Reports

Semester Two student reports will be sent out to parents at the end of Week Nine, Friday 8th December  via the school based web system COMPASS. 

Parents of Year Six students are reminded to print a copy of their child’s report before the end of the year as their profile data is not transferred to their high school.

Parents, this is a special time for you to praise the efforts of your child for the school year. The level of effort a child puts into their work is important to acknowledge in addition to the level of performance grade awarded. Praise this where appropriate. Comparative tables for grades Year 1 - Year 6 will be available from the office from Monday 11th December.

Parents if you require an interview in regards to your child’s report please contact your class teacher via email to organise a suitable time.

 School Uniform

Students are reminded to wear their school hats daily, especially with the warmer weather we are experiencing. Our school policy is ‘no hat no play’ and no participating in a sport lesson.  Correct sports socks are also to be worn with black or white sports shoes.  

Swimming Carnival

Our annual school Swimming Carnival will be held on Friday 24th November at Caringbah Leisure Centre for students in Years 2-5. This event is classified as a normal school day and all students are expected to attend. Students are to arrive at school as normal in the morning and will be escorted to the venue. 

We look forward to parents volunteering their assistance at this event. 

There will be a school-based Working With Children induction session for any parents wishing to volunteer as helpers on Wednesday 22nd November commencing at 2.45pm.

Kindergarten and Year One students will participate in fun and fitness activities on this day organised by our Year Six students.
