School Reminders

SCHOOL TIMES
School begins at 8:50am. Please ensure you arrive to school with plenty of time for your child/ren to calmly enter their Learning Community. School Gates are opened at 8:30am and closed at 8:55am. If late, parents must sign their students in at the office. The school day ends at 3:10pm. All students must be picked up then or alternative arrangements made.
UNIFORMS
Please ensure all items of uniform are clearly labelled. A lost property tub can be found in the Community Hub (room next to the Canteen) where unnamed items found in the school yard are kept.
FOOD SHARING/CELEBRATIONS
We ask that if you want to bring something along to hand out to the students when celebrating a birthday, that you stick to non-food items, e.g. stickers, pencils, mini toys, keyring etc. Due to the range of students with allergies and food preferences, cakes/cupcakes are not permitted for sharing.
SICK BAY
Parents are reminded that if your child needs to be medicated during the school day, you will need to bring the medication to the Office in the morning and complete a form giving us permission to medicate your child. At the end of the day the medication must be collected by an adult and signed out.
FAMILY RESTRICTIONS
If you have any court orders relevant to your child could you please provide the school with a copy, to ensure their safety while in the school’s care.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Is all the general and emergency information you have given the school up to date? If not could you please notify the Office ASAP. This information is very important in case we need to contact you at any time.
DAILY SESSION STRUCTURE
HOME LEARNING EXPECTATIONS
Each student from Prep - Year 6 has a Home Learning Book.
Inside the scrapbook you will find:
- A Home Learning Grid outlining what is expected for home learning
- Term Goals sheet for Reading, Writing, Numeracy and Specialist subjects.
- A Numeracy worksheet (Year 1 – 6) pasted into the scrapbook
- Additional year level related work, e.g. counting goals, phonics and word work.
Students are expected to complete their homework by Friday each week. This allows teachers time to review and correct the work with students on the day, and provide a new worksheet each Friday for the following week's home learning.
