Important Notices

School Photo Day - Monday 13 May

All photos must be ordered online. 

This year, our photo payments are online again. There will be no photo envelopes sent home. Parents who created an account last year will receive an email on Thursday 11 April from MSP notifying you that ordering is now open. 

All our new families will need to create an account via the instructions on the flyer below. Please note that sibling photo orders must be placed by midnight on Sunday 12 May.

Afternoon Student Pickup

If you need to collect your child early for an appointment or convey any alternate plans to catch the bus, go to car lines etc., this will need to be done prior to 2.30pm.  Due to how busy the Front Office and classrooms are after 2:30pm, we cannot make late arrangements after this time.

Absences

If your child will be absent for school, it would be appreciated if you could complete and submit the below form or call the school office on Ph: 4422 1199 prior to school starting. If no notification is received, an SMS will be sent out to you which will require your response and reason for your child's absence.

This form can be completed in advance if you know your child will be away from school for any reason.

Late to school

Please be reminded that students are required to be outside their classrooms at the following times:

8:25am Secondary

8:35am Primary

Infants parents/carers, you may walk your child to their class before the school bell, but once school has started, they will need to walk themselves to their class on their own.

If your child is late to school, please ask them to come to the window next to the front office to check in. If they are not with an adult, you will receive an SMS to confirm that you are aware of their late arrival to school.

Old football boots wanted!

If you have any football (soccer) boots that your children have outgrown, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to give them a new purpose. We have an upcoming Secondary Zone Football (Soccer) Gala Day in Term 2 and several of our students are eager to participate but lack proper footwear. It would be wonderful if we could gather a small assortment of donated boots to lend to these students for this event. If you have any old football boots that you would be willing to contribute, kindly send them to Miss Bignell in the PDHPE Dept. Thank you for your generosity!

Before School Drop Off & Supervision

Student supervision begins at 8:10 am. Parents are asked not to drop students at school before this time. It is understood that buses arrive earlier than this. For those students who routinely arrive by bus before 8:10, they are expected to sit until supervision begins. It is suggested that they have a book or something else to do during this time.

NCS Bush Revegetation Group

Over the last few years, we have re-established native bushland on part of our school site. We are interested in volunteers who would like to be involved 2-3 times per year in helping the plantings develop further. If you are interested, please get in touch with Mr McLennan at paulmclennan@ncs.nsw.edu.au

School Bus Travel with Shoal Bus

Dear Parents,

Students travelling on a School Bus to and from school are required to have a valid school bus pass for the school service they are catching.  If a valid school pass cannot be shown a fare CAN be charged.  In the event the school bus pass is lost, some form of student ID is to be shown whilst obtaining a replacement pass (fee applies). You can help make your child’s school bus journey more pleasant by ensuring your child has a valid school bus pass and presents it to the driver in the morning AND afternoon.  Parents are reminded that the School Free Travel is only valid between home and school as per the conditions on the back of the pass. Fares will be charged for all other journeys including travel to sport. Skateboards/Scooters/Bicycles are not permitted on the bus.

Kind Regards

Travis Jones
