• Monday 22 July
• Monday 5 August
• Monday 14 October
• Monday 18 November

Punctuality

Just a reminder, that punctuality is important. Punctuality gives students an advantage in their learning. 

Successful students are well organised and ready to start school on time. Arriving at school on time, before the 8.45am bell:

• gets your child’s day off to a good start and puts your child in a positive frame of mind, so that they can make the most of their learning; 

• sets positive patterns for the future; 

• leads to good attendance; 

• leads to better achievement; 

• leads to understanding that school is important and education is valuable; 

• helps your child develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and towards others; 

• helps your child make friends and keep friends; 

• reaps rewards; it leads to success and self-confidence.

We acknowledge that there are situations where a late arrival is inevitable, in these cases parents are required to bring their child to the school office and sign them in via the Compass Kiosk.

eSafety Commissioner Parent Webinars 

Each term, the eSafety Commissioner runs online webinars for Parents and Carers. These live webinars give parents and carers the knowledge, skills and tools to support their children to have safe online experiences.

Walk Safely to School Day

Tomorrow is Walk Safely to School Day. Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine. 

You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking more by: 

• Walking with them the whole way to school 
• If they get the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and get on at the next stop 
• If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks away from the school and walk the rest of the way. 

Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them beat chronic problems like obesity, heart disease, behavioural and mental health issues and diabetes. It also gives you a great opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.
