Principal's Message

I start this newsletter with some exciting news. We congratulate Kristy Rich and Harry on the arrival of Daisy Anne born on Tuesday 12 September. Both Kristy and Daisy are doing well. 

We only have 6 days left of Term 3. We are starting to see the warmer weather so we would appreciate your support to ensure your child/children has a school wide brimmed hat to wear at playtime and during sport. As we commence Term 4 students without hats will be asked to play in shaded areas.

Pedal Push - We are getting really excited about Pedal Push on the last day of term. If you haven't already, please return your child's note to the class teacher. We would also appreciate parent helpers. If you have some time to give up on the day, we would love to give you a job. 

Stage 3 Camp - I would like to thank all the stage 3 staff who attended camp this week. Without these dedicated staff members, the camp would not have happened and would not have been as successful as it was. The students had a wonderful time. The days were jam packed full of exciting activities.

I understand children are getting tired, but please ensure your child attends school everyday up until the end of term.

Eglinton Public School attendance as at 14th September 2023

Last Week: 90.9%

This week: 90.8%

Goal: 95%

Did you know that for your child to achieve an attendance rate of 95% each term they should have no more than 2 days off. 

You can check your child's attendance rate on the Sentral Parents App. Click on their photo, select 'Student Details' and click on 'Attendance'. Our expected student attendance rate is above 95%. To maintain an attendance rate of above 90% a student should have no more than 5 days off a term. 

Thank you for supporting us in reaching our attendance goal. The data above shows our current student attendance for the last week. Please ensure you contact the school via the Sentral Parent Portal if your child has a day off to explain their absence.
