ALLERGY AWARE

A friendly reminder that St Francis Xavier's School is an allergy aware school.

This means that we aim to create a safe environment for our students with allergies and request that our families are mindful of the foods being packed in their child's lunchbox.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

🟡🟡 LATE ARRIVAL

Every time a child arrives late to school (after 9:00am) they must be accompanied by their Parent or Carer to the School Office and signed in. An electronic kiosk is located at the front office counter which MUST be completed by a parent or guardian. Paper notifications are to be completed by non parents and guardians

This is a NSW Government requirement and it is imperative that these steps are followed. If these steps are not adhered to your child will be marked absent for the day.

🟠🟠 EARLY DEPARTURE

A reminder that if anyone other than a parent, or legal guardian is picking a student up early from school, then either a note, email or phone call from the student’s parent/guardian must be received at the office.

Persons who are listed as an emergency contact for your child do not have permission to pick a student up early without the school office first receiving notification from the parent/guardian.

TERM 4

NO TOYS OR BALLS AT SCHOOL

All families please be reminded that children are asked not to bring toys to school. This includes Barbies, trucks etc as well as sports equipment (footballs, soccer balls or basketballs).

The exception to this is, if the item is for a special occasion such as news day or if it has been pre-arranged with their teacher.

Bringing toys from home causes distractions at school as well as the possibility of them being accidentally lost or broken. The school is not responsible for any damage or loss of items brought in from home.

Thank you for your support.

If your child has misplaced any belongings please ask them to check the lost property located in the Office. Any uniform item not claimed by the end of the Term will donated to the clothing pool. All other items not claimed by the end of the Term will be donated to Vinnies.
