Reminders

Visiting the School

BNPS is a welcoming and shared community; however, as part of our Child Safe Policy and Process, all visitors to the school must report directly to the office upon arrival.

If you have an appointment, please sign in at the office on the iPad and collect a lanyard.

Picking up Students During the Day

If you have appointments or other reasons for collecting your child during the school day, please make sure you contact the classroom teacher via Seesaw or the office to make arrangements.

Parents are asked to come into the office to collect and sign out their students.

Compass

Compass is the main communication between the school and families, so it is very important you understand how to use it. If you cannot log into Compass, please pop into the office with your mobile phone and we will be able to help you sort out your password and account access.

All teachers, parents and guardians have access, and it contains reports, community announcements, our newsletter and information about student attendance and excursions. 

Using Compass allows you to access up-to-date and meaningful information about our school and your child's progress.

Student Absences

Students are expected to be at school every day. If your child is marked absent and we have not been notified, you will receive an SMS message to the nominated mobile phone at 10am. Please contact the school to verify your child's whereabouts.

Absences and Using Compass

Did you know that you can log your child's absence on Compass to save you calling the school?

The mornings are very busy and if you use Compass rather than calling, it will save time to report your child's absence. By entering your child's absence on Compass before 9:45am - you will stop the possibility of receiving an SMS regarding the absence. You can even add a future absence!

If you aren't sure how to do this Katrina or Fiona in the office are happy to show you and once you have done it a couple of times it will be quicker than phoning the school.

No Smoking Zone

Please be reminded that BNPS is a NON-SMOKING AREA and as such it is illegal to smoke within 4 meters of any gateway or entrance to the school grounds. 

Please help keep our student community healthy and safe.
