School Hats

It is recommended that all students have their school hat with them each day at school otherwise they will need to play in a covered space outside only.

If you need to purchase a hat, you can purchase one from Lowes at Plenty Valley, or you can purchase one from the office for $25.95.

School lunch box - friendly reminder to please send enough food each day

We often have children come to the office asking for more food, as they have eaten everything that has been sent to school in their lunchbox. A friendly reminder to please pack enough food for your child, especially as they are growing so fast, they may need more food than they did previously. We have limited food to offer students who may not have lunch with them.

Reminder - Please pack a change of clothes

A reminder for all parents to please pack a change of clothes for your child in their school bag. Accidents sometimes do happen, plus with the wet weather upon us it is handy to have a change in each student's school bag to avoid the office calling home asking for a parent or carer to bring clean clothes to the school.

Lost Property

We currently have a mountain of school jumpers in lost property. Please if you are missing an item come and check out our lost property which is located next to Sick Bay.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club is now open at 8:20am. Students who are eating at Breakfast Club are able to enter the school grounds through the small gate next to OSHC.

If students are not visiting the Breakfast Club to eat breakfast, they cannot enter the school grounds until 8:45am, as there are no staff available before this time to supervise in the school grounds.

Students can receive a free breakfast of toast, cereal, milk and fruit before beginning their busy day of learning. Breakfast Club wishes to acknowledge the kind support from Bakers Delight-Mernda Village, Christina Bakery and Foodbank Victoria.

Student Absence Learning Plans

Students who will be absent for two or more weeks need to advise their teacher at least one week in advance, in order for homework to be organised if required.

Mobile Phones

All students with mobile phones or smart watches, these devices MUST be signed in and left at the school office each morning and collected each afternoon.

Cleveland Street Gate

The Cleveland Street (Office) Gate is fully automated. The gate will be automatically opened in the morning and afternoon for normal school arrival and departures. For entry during school hours, please press the intercom on the right hand side of the gate and someone will assist you. Please do not touch, hold, try to push open or stand on gates as it is very expensive to repair.

Sign In Procedures

Please remember when attending the school for a meeting to please sign in at the office.

Should there be an evacuation or emergency, it is imperative that we know who is on site.
