From our Business Manager

Larissa Clark

From the school Office, we wish our school community a safe holiday break. Thank you to Nadia for organising the WHPS Easter raffle—enjoy!

 

A reminder: if you have planned an extended holiday, notify the school of the absence. You can inform the school by:

  • Updating Compass student details with a note of the dates your child/ren will be absent on family holiday;
  • Or email the school to notify them of the first date your child will return in T2 and the reason for the absence.

     

Late Collection after School

In the past few weeks, we have had an increasing number :

  • late student collections from school
  • phone calls to the office after 3:25 p.m. notifying changes, and
  • The office foyer was used as a waiting area as parents were due to be late and had not contacted the school.

If you will be late, you must call the school by 3:15 to inform the school you are running late for pickup, and ensure your child is not left unattended.     

 

You would appreciate that with over 600+ students and an increasing number of calls to the school after 3:15 p.m., it is challenging to manage the incoming calls, call multiple classrooms, and forward individual messages to each student. For calls between 3:25 and 3:30 p.m., there is not enough time to forward messages to students before dismissal. 

  • Students who are unattended on the school grounds at 3:45 p.m. will be brought to the office. 
  • The office will attempt to contact parents or emergency contacts for urgent collection.
  • Please register for our OSHC program. It's free, and casual bookings are accepted if space is available.

Are your contact details up to date?

To update a change of address or family living arrangements, don't hesitate to contact the school office so that we can assist with updating your student/family contact information. 

Parent Helpers and Volunteers at WHPS

Many parents assist at school within the classroom, excursions and school events throughout the year. 

 

It is mandatory, that all Volunteers/parent helpers hold a valid Working with Children Card.  The card must be presented to the Office every time you sign in, on school grounds/or on an excursion helper.

 

For more information on the Working with Children Card and applications, please visit: Home | Working with Children

Lost Property

Please ensure all school clothes, bags, and personal property are clearly labelled with the student’s name.  This will ensure that property can be returned to the correct person when lost.
