School Photos - any students who were absent or missed their photo this week are scheduled to attend the make up session on Tuesday 11 August, along with a small number of remaining sibling photo bookings.
Absence Notifications
Please let the school know if your child will be away for the day by recording their absence through PAM or calling the school at 5998 9293. We will be sending an absence notification to parents when students have unexplained absences for the day. If we do not hear from you, we will get in touch with the emergency contacts in your list, then Victoria Police if unable to reach you. This is a requirement under our Child Safe legislation.
We strongly encourage our parents to bring children to school early. Gates will be opened at 8.25am and children enjoy meeting up and playing with peers before the learning begins.
As part of our child safe procedures, when your children arrive late, they will be asked to wait in the office to log in and they will need to be escorted to their classrooms.
Collection from school - appointments
If you are picking up your child for a scheduled reason, please note that we are unable to release students during recess or lunch breaks. We ask that you plan pick-up times outside of these periods.
Recess - 11:05am - 11:35am
Lunch - 1:45pm - 2:15pm
Ensure that you contact the school by phone ahead of time to alert office staff and allow them to inform your children. Logging it on PAM will not alert the office.
We will not approve regular early pickup without a meeting with senior leadership and an agreeement as to the necessity of the early departure. Every minute missed from school is an opportunity to learn that cannot be replaced.
