Principal's Report 

From Christian's desk....

Learning starts at 9:00am!

Congratulations to all families and staff for our successful full transition to school. This week our Year 3 – 6 students returned as if they’d never left! 

A reminder that students are welcome to begin entering our school at 8:30am.  All staff are in the school at this time with playgrounds supervised from 8:45am. 

Given our successful COVID-19 Re-entry and our openness to children entering the gates prior to the traditional 8:45am, it is timely that we reiterate that learning starts at 9:00am! I challenge all families to take on the cold and to get up and going, so that our staff have all students eagerly awaiting them prior to the bell. You have my full support bribing them! Perhaps create a chart at home and if they successfully enter the school prior to 8:55am five days in a row they collect a special treat on the weekend?

Drop-off traffic

Since we have returned traffic has been noticeably busier, with many families choosing to drop off closer to the school gates. Despite this, traffic has been well managed and families have been respectful of our school processes. Thank you.
