PHOTOS AT SCHOOL EVENTS
Dear Parents/Carers,
We understand how exciting it is to see your child enjoying school events and wanting to share these special moments and friends on your personal social media. We kindly remind you to only post photos or videos of your own child, or children for whom you have personal parent consent. In future we ask that you please be mindful and considerate of the privacy of students and parents who may not wish for their child to be posted on social media. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
📣 REMINDER - STAFF CAR PARK
We kindly ask that parents do not park in the staff carpark at drop off and pick up. The car parks are reserved for staff to allow easy access to our workplace. Thank you for your support with this.
RIGHT BITE
At Hackham East PS we follow the SA Right Bite Food and Drink standards and in line with this allow only water in student drink bottles to be consumed throughout the school day.
Please support us with this by ensuring children do not come to school with cordial or similar in drink bottles.
