ANZAC Day - 25th April 2024

ANZAC day is the time for the community to come together and pay tribute to the first ANZACs and to all the brave servicemen and women who have since followed in their footsteps. St Mary of the Angels Primary School will proudly be participating in the ANZAC Day March on April 25th. We will gather as a school at 10.00am at Fourways on Ollera Street to start the march at 10.30am. 

The Commemoration Service will commence at 11:00am and be followed by a wreath laying service. Students are asked to wear their full winter school uniform and will march as a group behind the St Mary of the Angels school banner. Year 6 students will have access to the school blazers, as this day falls during the school holidays please let the office know before the end of term if your child is attending and requires a blazer for the day. Families with students from other schools such as TAS, PLC,  O'Connor etc are welcome to join us as we gather and march.

Working with Children Check

Anyone coming into the school as a volunteer for example if you are attending school excursions, helping out at sporting events (swimming carnival, athletics carnival or cross country), assisting with P&F events or anything that involves children, we are required by law to have your working with children check on file. This WWCC lasts 5 years and are free to obtain under the volunteer section. 

 

Working with Children Check (WWCC) renewals go digital: 

There are 2 ways to renew your Working with Children Check (WWCC), depending on how you choose to have your identification verified:

  • Online using face verification – instead of going into a Service NSW Centre to present your identity documents, you renew online and use your device to scan your face. The scan is matched with the photo used on your NSW Driver License or NSW Photo Card.
  • At a Service NSW Centre – you need to complete the Office of the Children's Guardian (OCG) renewal application form, then visit a service center within 28 days to present the original version of your identity documents and pay your fee if required.

 Please don’t hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.
