ATTENDANCE
ATTENDANCE
By law children must attend school, so if your child needs to be absent you are required to send a note on return, or, if possible, notify the school prior to the absence. If your child is unable to come to school, please telephone the school or enter the absence form via PAM (Parent Access Module) or email the school at admin@sleaglehawk.catholic.edu.au by 8.55am on the day they are not attending. School attendance is one of the critical factors for success at school therefore any days absent can have an affect on their learning. When appropriate parents should make dental and doctors' appointments outside of school time. If you child arrives at school after 9.00 am they are to be signed in at the office and collect a late pass.
NO child may leave the school grounds during the day unless accompanied by an adult or having provided a written note. All children leaving school during the day need to be signed out by an authorised adult. You will need to sign the student out of the school via the Kiosk in the school office.
If your child is late to school, you will need to report into the office to sign your child in and obtain a late pass for your child to give to their teacher.
UNIFORM SHOP
HOURS OF OPERATION
Tuesday 8.45am - 10am
Wednesday 8.45-10am
As families are purchasing items and preparing for the new school year the following information is a reminder about school uniforms! We take great pride in our uniform and would like to remind our families of expectations. Our uniform shop has all requirements and is very well priced with good quality materials! We ask that students do not wear branded clothes (this includes sports shorts and socks.) The sport shorts from the uniform shop are recommended as they are longer in style (as per our SunSmart policy!) Shoes are so important as they work hard! We ask that shoes are fully black (no white soles) and that canvas shoes are not worn (either for formal or sport) Please if you need support with uniforms or have any questions, message us or make contact when we are back at school. We are here to help! Below is the uniform requirements and remember to label all clothing especially jumpers and hats! We will let you know Uniform Shop arrangements. Orders can also be made online.

- Emotions – identify these & how they impact on others
Extend their vocabulary through which to recognise and describe emotions and when, how and with whom it is appropriate to share emotions
Focus: self awareness- identifying personal strengths and skill sets,
Encourage each member of the household to develop an “About Me” book or card to share with each other. This could be on a computer, Ipad or a scrapbook hard copy. Include information on their personal, family and friendship details, likes/dislikes, strengths (what they’re good at), challenges or what they’d like to be good at. Really you can include any information that’s important to you and your child.
Make sure you include pictures and/or photos.
Go through this book on a weekly basis update the details and comment or ask each other questions such as; Why do you like…...? How are you going with this challenge. It’s great for your child to see that everyone has challenges and are working hard to improve themselves.
# If you don’t have time to make an About Me book, go through the family photo album regularly with your child. Talk about what they were doing in the photo, what they were thinking, feeling. Focus on something in the photo that demonstrates your child’s skills eg; making a sandcastle, painting a picture, going down a slide. Would they like to do it again, why?
