A message from Mr Renshaw

SchoolBytes - Transition to Family Communication

From Term 3, Hurstville Public School will transition from School eNews to SchoolBytes as our main platform for communicating with families.

This change will help streamline communication for parents and carers, bringing more school information into one platform. For the remainder of Term 2, we will continue using School eNews and SchoolBytes as we prepare for the transition. From Term 3, School eNews will no longer be used.

Thank you for your support as we work towards a more consistent and efficient communication process for our school community.

These interviews provide parents and teachers with an opportunity to discuss student progress and learning goals in a one-on-one setting. Students are not required to attend.

Attendance reminder

Parents and carers play an important role in supporting regular school attendance. Attending school every day, arriving on time, and keeping the school informed about absences all help support student wellbeing and learning.

Parents and carers are asked to:

• enrol their child in school once they reach compulsory school age
• ensure their child attends school every day and arrives on time
• provide an explanation for any absence within 7 days via note, phone, email, Seesaw or in person
• provide a medical certificate, where possible, for absences of 3 or more consecutive days
• provide a verbal or written explanation for late arrivals - these are recorded as partial absences
• sign their child in at the office if arriving after 9:00 am
• sign their child out at the office before 3:00 pm if leaving early, and provide a reason - this is also recorded as a partial absence
• note that there is no playground supervision before 8:30 am
• avoid travel during school term where possible.
