News from the Office
Student Absences
It is vital that you let the office know (not just the teacher) when your child does not attend school. The easiest way to let us know is to SMS our mobile number 0455 070 159 with your child’s name, grade and reason for absence. Please let us know before 9am.
NOTE: this is for SMS only and cannot receive calls.
You can also call the school and leave a message on 9772 4139 if the office is not attended.
Staff Car Park
The staff car park is designated for teachers, staff and school business related visitors. It is also there for school members that have approved disabled parking permits. Due to limited spaces, PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS ARE NOT TO PARK IN THIS CAR PARK OR EVEN USE IT AS A DROP OFF ZONE from 8:30am until 9:30am and then from 3:00pm – 4:00pm unless specific arrangements have been made with the Principal.
Collecting children early
If you are collecting your child early, report to the school office, tell office staff the arrangements and sign-out your child in the Early Leavers Book. Monitors will bring your child to the office.
Parent Contact Details
It is vital we have up to date phone numbers for families. In emergency situations and if your child is sick, it is crucial that we can contact you easily. If you have changed your phone number or your Emergency Contacts have altered, please either use the Sentral Parent Portal to update these or send the school an email mailto:chelsea.heights.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au.
Parent Payments Due
Parent Payments are important in enabling us to provide the best learning environment for the children at Chelsea Heights Primary School. Thank you to the families who have already paid their contributions. Parent Payments are now due. These can be paid via QKR! or by calling the office with a credit card or over the counter. If you are experiencing financial difficulties please contact our Business Manager, Anne Leggett, to discuss a payment plan.
CSEF for 2019
If you already receive CSEF (Camp, Sports, Excursion Funding) you do not need to re-apply next year. You will only need to re-apply if you have a new child starting school or there are any changes to your Health Care Card.
Excursions/Incursions
This year, excursions, incursions, swimming and camps will be on a ‘user-pays’ basis and information will be sent home electronically (NO PAPER) before each event with permission forms available on QKR! We currently have numerous excursions and Foundation Swimming that are all on QKR! Relevant notices are on the Notices webpage. Payment must be made by due date in order for your child to attend.
