Welcome back to 2019!
Welcome back!
The Torrens staff would like to welcome families joining us in Torrens. We are also pleased to welcome new teachers into our team - Natalie Brook, Trent Clayton and Amy Byrnes. Natalie and Trent have been at LNPS for many years, teaching Year 5/6/7 students in the Fisher building. Amy would be very familiar to most families, having taught in the Mellor building.
Routines
Students should not be arriving at school prior to 8:30am when Yard Duty begins. For the safety of all students we ask that parents make arrangements so that children are not left unsupervised in the school yard.
The school provides a before school care service to ensure that all students are supervised appropriately before 8:30am. Please contact the OHSC on 84435308 to arrange enrolment.
If there is an occasion when students arrive close to, but before 8:30am, it is expected that they wait on the seats next to the flag poles at the front of the school.
Torrens classroom doors will be opened at 8:40am allowing students to sign in on their teacher's computers and organise themselves for the day. If students arrive after 8:50am, they will be marked as late. If students arrive late, they need to sign in at the front office before coming to class. As mornings are busy times for staff, families are politely asked to make an appointment through emails for more in-depth discussions. But please feel free to drop in and say a quick hello!
Developing independence is a major focus for the students in Torrens. Therefore we encourage them to take responsibility and organise themselves.
Communication
All students have a diary to assist them with organisation, record homework and allow for communication between home and school.
Parents can also communicate via email. All absences must be explained.
Year 3/4 Camp
Torrens Teachers are in the process of planning a camp for Year 3/4 this year. The camp will be held at Arbury Park Outdoor School and would be over three days. The focus of the camp will link to our learning program. A note was sent home Friday of week 3 asking if your child will be attending camp. Please return this note by Wednesday 20th Feb so we can confirm numbers and our place at the Outdoor school.
Goal Setting Conferences
You will soon be receiving information about how to book in for goal setting conferences.
