SCHOOL PHOTOS 2025

Annual school photos including sibling photos will be taken by Arthur Reed Photos on Wednesday 26th March 2025. There is no need to return any forms or money to school.

Unique image codes will be issued to all students on/after photo day so families can register online to view images when they become available in the webshop.

Registration is simple, just follow the 3 simple steps on your child’s personalised flyer once you receive it and remember to add the codes for all your children attending this school.

Even if you registered last year, it’s important that you do again this year using your child’s 2025 image code to link their images for the current year with your contact details.

When images are ready to view and in the webshop, all parents who have registered will be notified by SMS and email.

Once registered, please wait for notification that 2025 images are online to view before making your purchase.

UNWELL STUDENTS

If your child is ill or is feeling unwell, they MUST NOT attend school.

They must remain home and seek medical advice.

If your child is absent can you please let the admin staff know via admin@sleaglehawk.catholic.edu.au or complete a Parent Notified Absence on PAM rather than emailing the classroom teacher. This will prevent an SMS absence being generated.

BEFORE SCHOOL SUPERVISION

Students are supervised in the school grounds from 8:30am. Any student who is at school prior to 8:30am will be unsupervised. Thank you for your support with this.

LATE TO SCHOOL

Parents please make sure you enter the Panton Street entrance and sign your child in at the office if you are late to school. Please make sure you follow all the social distancing rules and only one adult is with their children in the office at the same time. Parents will have to wait outside until the office is clear to enter. Children are then to walk themselves to their classrooms.

SIGN IN / SIGN OUT

All children leaving school during the day need to be signed out by an authorised adult. You will need to sign the student out of the school via the Kiosk in the school office. All students need to be accompanied by an authorised adult to sign them

in on their return to school.

Just a reminder to all families to bring in any ongoing medication and updated Asthma plans to the office on the first day of school. (Thursday 1st February).

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

We love seeing our students participate in extra curricular activities and enjoy the rewards they gain from this. We would love you to share these special moments so as a school community we can celebrate together...drawing on the positive things happening in our lives. Please send to admin@sleaglehawk.catholic.edu.au and we will add to our newsletter. Our Facebook page tends to extend to a greater demographic, so only school related posts will be shared on this platform due to safety reasons

SCHOOL FEES AND STATEMENT

All 2025 Fee's and levies statements have been emailed. Please contact the office if you require a hard copy. Direct Debits have now commenced. If you would like to pay your fee's via Direct Debit, please contact the office as soon as possible.

Schools Fee's and Levy statements are sent via email at the start of every month. Families with Direct Debit setup will see their balance reduce. If you have any issues with paying your fee's, please contact the office to talk to the principal.

For families who are eligible for the HCC discount on their fee's these credits will not be applied to your account until May 2025 due to the CSEF payment schedule.

DIGITAL DEVICES

Just a reminder: If your child has a mobile phone, tablet, smart watch etc that they bring to school, they need to leave it with the office staff in the morning and collect at the end of the school day. Please have their name on the back of the device for easy identification.

MEDICATION POLICY

Many children need to either regularly or “at times” take medication at school. In the event of children taking regular medication, (eg. Asthma inhalers), they should be encouraged to be open and quite natural and learn to self administer properly.

In the event of medication being required to be administered at school, parents are asked to complete a ‘medical administration form’. This form includes written instructions eg dosage, and signed permission to administer the medicine. All medication should be in a container in which it was dispensed from the pharmacy. Please note no analgesics (Panadol, nurofen) can be administered at school unless there is written permission from a doctor.

We are most particular with children who have suffered any injury and we will not hesitate to contact families or emergency number if we have doubts at all – particularly head injuries, suspected bone damage etc - we would rather err on the side of CAUTION.

Our teachers do regular updates on ASTHMA, EPILEPSY, ANAPHYLAXIS etc. If your child suffers from a particular condition please let the school know. You will be required to provide an Action Plan signed by a doctor for certain conditions .

If your child's medical information (phone numbers, medical conditions etc) changes at any time please ensure you contact the school office
