Family Statements

Family statements will be sent out this week. Please check to see if you have any credits that can be used for camps or excursions. If there are no cirriculum contributions listed on your statement, it means that it has not been paid. If you would like to pay your cirriculum contributions you can do so by emailing the office at macedon.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Lost Property Clean Out

On the last day of Term 3, Friday 15th September, we will be throwing out all items in the lost property areas.

We request that prior to this date, you check to see if any of your child's belonging are missing and come to collect/take these items. There is currently a large number of uniform items, drink bottles and containers.

The lost property tubs and hangers are located in the main building near the toilets.  There is also a tub in the OSHC area in the JCB.

Please ensure that you remember to label your child's clothing, and if you have a preloved item, remove the other name(s) on the clothes and replace it with your child's.

Sunsmart School

A reminder that hats must be worn for outside play from the start of September. Please make sure your child has a broad-rimmed hat.

Spare clothing 

Please pack some spare clothing for your child/ren. With the wetter weather upon us, many children are coming to the sickbay at recess and lunch wet or muddy. We have a limited amount of clothing in sick bay and cannot always give children spare clothing. If you child is excessively wet and muddy you will be contacted and asked to bring in a change of clothes.

Staff Carpark

The off-street carparking along the front of the school on Smith Street is for staff parking. We ask that parents do not park in these spots, as if these car parking spots are full staff need to park on the street all day. There is the drop off zone and parking along Carrington Street or further along Smith Street.

Late arrivals at school

If your child arrives late at school (any time after 9:00am) you need to sign them in at the office. The classroom teachers mark the roll at 9:00am and if your child is late to class the teacher does not always have time to mark them as present. We thank you for your co-operation.

Classroom Opening Times

Please be reminded that the classrooms do not open until 8.50am.

Please ensure that your child is supervised prior to this time, as the yard is not supervised until 8.45am. If you require care prior to this time, we do offer Before School Care.

Working With Children Checks / VITs

Would all parents please ensure their WWCC is current prior to nominating to help with activities during camps.  It is a legal requirement for those assisting with child activities to hold a current WWCC (either volunteer or employee) OR a current VIT card (for teachers).

WWCC applications are free for volunteers and can be obtained online at https://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/.
