From the Principal
Principal: Mathew Montebello
Dear Families,
Meet the Teacher
Thank you to all the families and staff for making yesterday’s meeting with the teacher so successful. It was great to hear of so many positive conversations. The meetings are such an important part of the school home partnership, and support our understanding of each individual Willy kid as a learner.
Prep BBQ
Our prep families would have received information about our upcoming Prep BBQ. This Friends of Willy supported event is a great opportunity for our prep families to come together and get to know each other. I look forward to firing up the BBQ while the second hand uniform will also be operating.
Date: Thursday 27th Feb
Time: 4:30pm-6pm
Place: Prep Area
Reminders:
School Photos - Next week, Tuesday 18th February
Next Tuesday 18th Feb we will be undertaking school photos. We are asking families to ensure that all students are wearing official school uniforms, which includes the official school uniform colours.
- No Grade 6 t-shirts or jumpers
- No sports t-shirts
- No alternative colour leggings/pants (Required school royal blue)
As photo day approaches, we just need to make families aware of important information regarding the use of photos taken.
All students presented to our photographers on photo day will be photographed, their images will appear in school photography packages which will be available to purchase by school families.
If you have any questions regarding the use of photos and images within photo packages, please contact the office prior to photo day.
Volunteer Registration Information
Early next week, parent volunteer information will be distributed. Outlined in the information will be what are the requirements around being a parent volunteer. In accordance with Departments volunteer and OHS policies this is an annual requirement, which has to be completed each year.
Important Notes
A range of paper notes went home over the last week,
- ICT User Agreement
- Local Excursion Note
- Photo Permission
These notes also represent changes to recent Department policy, hence why they may look different than previous years. Please complete and return all notes as soon as possible to your class teacher.
Mobile Phone Policy
Just a reminder to families of the Department and School’s mobile phone policy. This policy also covers smart watches, even when placed in school mode. Phones and watches are required to be handed to the teacher at the start of the day. These devices will then be safely secured away and handed back to students at the end of the school day.
Warm regards,
Mat
