Reminders:

Morning drop off - Students can be dropped off at 8:50am, prior to this time, there is limited supervision for bus students only. At 8:50pm on arrival at school, students are to go straight to the top quad. At 9:00am the duty teachers will allow the students to play until the first bell.
School uniform - Please ensure students are in school uniform each day, including our school wide brimmed hat. All our uniform can be purchased from Intersport located in William Street. School hats can also be purchased at the school office. If students are not wearing school hats, they will be asked to play in the shade.
Student pick up - School gates will be opened at 3:20pm each day. Once the gates are opened, please wait for your child/children in either the Kinder playground or at the front of the school near the flags. The admin staff will only open the gate prior to this time if you have an appointment with a teacher or it is an emergency. This is for the safety of all students.
Behavior Management - We have made some changes to our Behavior Management procedures and processes in line with Restorative Practices. You will receive an email with the changes shortly.
Communication - The classroom teacher is always your first point of call. If you have further concerns after speaking to the class teacher, please speak to the Assistant Principal of the stage. If this is unsuccessful, please do not hesitate to contact me. If it is important and you only wish to speak with me, I am more than happy to talk to parents. The admin staff are happy to offer you a time to meet with me or alternatively I can call you back when I am available.

Swimming Carnival

What a wonderful day we had at the swimming carnival on the 2nd day back at school. A huge thank you to Mrs Cluff for organising the day. Congratulations to all our place getters.

School Community Charter

Please read the attached document outlining the School Community Charter.

At Eglinton we strive to ensure that all teachers, students, parents and community members treat each other with dignity and respect. This is inclusive of drop off and pick up times. The school is committed to building a positive school culture where student, staff and parent wellbeing is a priority. I appreciate your support.
