Library 

Tuesdays are our library day. Your child will need to bring their book bag. This will ensure the books are protected when taken to and from school. We hope your child enjoys engaging with their library books.

Hats

It is important that your child brings their school hat every day in Term 1. Their hats will be used for playing outside and any school activities that require students to be outside. If your child does not have a hat, they will be asked to play in the shade at break times. Please ensure that your child's name is on their hat. This will make it easier to be returned if it is lost. 

Compass Emails

Compass email is the best way to contact your child’s class teacher if you have a quick question or message. It should be noted that teachers may not be able to check these emails during the school day so if the message is urgent, it is best to send a note or call the School Office.
