Upcoming Events – Action needed

First Day for Students 2023

The first day for students, grades 1 - 6, in 2023 is Wednesday 31st January.  

Foundation students will begin on Thursday 1st Feburary.

Foundation students will not attend  Wednesdays until after Labour Day long weekend. Their first Wednesday at school will be 13th March.  

Meet the Teacher Evening

Don't forget we have our Meet The Teachers Evening happening in February, the date for this event will be confirmed soon.

This is an opportunity for parents to visit classrooms, find out about programs and routines, ask questions and get to know the teacher. It is also an opportunity to share information about your child with the teacher. 

When parents and teachers work together the educational outcomes are always better for children. Benefits of a strong parent teacher partnership also include maintaining the wellbeing of children, parents feeling more confident in the teaching and learning process and teachers feeling supported by parents. As it is very early in the school year teachers will not be able to talk about children's progress at this time.

If you have confidential information to share with the teacher be aware that there will be other parents and children in the room and it may be better to organise a separate time to meet with the class teacher.

Students will walk from Trafalgar Primary School to the Trafalgar Outdoor Pool prior to each of their swimming lessons, departing school approximately 30 minutes prior to their scheduled swimming lesson. Following their swimming lesson, students will get changed at the Trafalgar Outdoor Pool and then walk back to school, with an estimated time of return approximately 30minutes after the conclusion of their scheduled swimming lesson.

Parents are welcome to attend and assist with the supervision of students on swimming days. Please note that parents helping must have a current Working with Children Check. 

Please note that the senior swimming program will conclude with our School Swimming Carnival on Friday the 9th of February. The School Swimming carnival is for showcasing the swimming talent of Trafalgar Primary School students and for selecting those students who will represent our school at the Warragul District Swimming Competition  Further information about these events will be communicated in early 2024.
