Our Pre-Prep students were visited by Officer Kim on Monday. It’s important for children to learn that the Police help the community and that we can go to them to help us feel safe. Officer Kim talked about her uniform and the equipment that she carries as part of her uniform.
When reflecting on their learning, Pre-Prep children said:
"I learnt that in an emergency, you have to call the police, firefighters or the ambulance. The number is 000, triple 0 and that you need to know your address to give to the person on the phone."
"Officer Kim keeps the bad guys away! If there’s an emergency, you call triple 0 and tell them where you are."
“The police keep people safe, and she can lock people up and hold them. If there’s an emergency you call 000 and tell them where you live. You tell them your street number, name and suburb."
Have you taken time to help your child practice their address and have a pretend call to the emergency services?
Please refer to communication emailed on Thursday 31 October from Mrs Miranda Cavaliere - Teaching and Learning Office, regarding 2025 Student Resources and Textbooks.
If you have not already done so, please ensure you have referred to the communication emailed Wednesday 16 October. The email contained information and requirements regarding Speech Night rehearsal on Monday 11 November, and the attendance for Year 6 continuing students.
As we plan for the 2025 school year, the class teachers will be organising class placements. Much time and effort will be placed into these decisions, with the teacher’s knowledge of friendships and how their students work best in the classroom. Considerations are also made on new students to the College and student learning needs across the cohort, to support a balanced class in all areas.
We appreciate your trust in our expertise in forming our classes, which are prepared with thorough review and discussion with the Primary Teaching Staff. Whilst we understand parents may have requests for specific teachers or peer groups, this is not our process and would appreciate your understanding. Classes will be shared with our families in the new year, ahead of the 2025 school year. If you have any questions or concerns with this, please contact Mrs Fellowes.
A sincere thank you to our wonderful community for your generous donations in support of our 2024 Primary Captains' Charity Drive for Ronald McDonald House.
