IPADS

We have started using iPads in the classroom for various learning tasks. Please ensure you help and remind your child to bring their iPad to school each day fully charged. 

DROP OFF AND PICK UP IN LANTANA

Please be mindful of the road signs on Lantana Road. It is a NO PARKING zone in front of the school, during school start and finish times. To ensure a smooth and safe process, we have a designated pick-up system at the end of the day where a teacher monitors and guides students into cars lined up in the queue. This system works efficiently when there are no parked cars breaching the signage during these times. Thank you for your cooperation.

SHOWBIE 

Teachers are in the process of setting up Showbie. Please make sure this app is updated and installed on your child's iPad. Codes will be coming out shortly and in your child's take home reading log.
