Reminders

Punctuality 

It is expected that all students are to be at school by no later than 8.45am.  From 8.30am to 8.45am is crucial for students to get themselves organised, start the day with prayer, take the roll and ready to commence their day promptly. Formal lessons begin at 8.45am. Any child who arrives at or after 8.45am is to be signed in at the office by a parent/guardian. I ask all parents to make sure that you adhere to these times.

It is important that your child/ren are on time every day.   Children arriving late also interrupt their teachers and the learning and teaching of all the other children in their class.

On those occasions when you are running late to school, parents or guardians need to accompany their children into the School Office where they sign in their child on the iPad for each child.  Parents taking children early prior to 3.15pm must also enter via the School Office and complete the same process. 

No Parking/Access to the Staff Car Park

We request that parents do not access the school staff car park at any time during the school day.  We have had concerns raised by staff of children walking through the car park as staff either arrive or leave throughout the day.   We also have limited staff parking and require parents do not take up staff car parks. Please support our school and keep our children safe by using the crossings and not choosing to cross in other areas.

School Crossings 

We ask that all students and parents are use the School Crossings that are clearly marked and manned as these are safe ways to cross the road. The Crossing Supervisor have also notified us that this is a concern  and have  asked  that parents and students use the designated crossings when crossing Bunney or Springs Road.

Zooper Dooper Friday

We welcome back our Friday Zooper Dooper sales! 

Children are invited to bring a $1.00 coin to school to purchase a Zooper Dooper this Friday.

We thank our Year 6 children for volunteering their time to support the sales of the Zooper Doopers.   All profits raised from the sales will go to our Kadasig fundraising efforts.

Student Dress Code

Please be reminded that students are not permitted to wear decorative jewellery. Stud earrings, sleepers worn in the ears and watches are the only acceptable jewellery. Hair longer than shoulder length, for both boys and girls, needs to be tied back. 

Driving around the school 

We have had reports and witnessed some people choosing to drive unsafely around the school at pick up and drop off times. Please remember there are lots of young people arriving and leaving school in the morning and afternoon and road rules must be followed. 

• When using the drop and go zone on Bunney Rd, pull to the front of the area to drop off your children, you cannot park. There are no u-turns allowed both on Bunney Rd and Springs Rd.
• Please do not drive into the staff carpark or school grounds in the mornings or afternoons, these areas are not for parents and families to park. 
• We have also had feedback from neigbouring houses that parents are sometimes parking on the grass, they have asked that we do not park on the grass as it is damaging their lawn.

We ask all drivers to please keep our children safe when driving around the school.
