Visitor reminder

Please remember to sign in at the office when coming in to the school for any reason. If you are collecting your child early, you need to sign them out however, we will collect them from the classrooms for you. This will happen until we are able to have parent visitors on site. Afternoon pickup parents/carers need to wait outside the gate for the teachers to formally dismiss the students.

School Fees

School fee statements have been sent out for term 3. Please note that all fees are due by the 11th of September, 2020.

Working With Children Check (WWCC)

We are updating our WWCC records here at school and we would like to thank the parents who have already sent their details through.

It is a requirement of the Child Protection Legislation that all staff and volunteers have a Working with Children Check, stating that they have not been convicted of an offence relating to children. These forms are held securely in the Administration office and details remain confidential.

We are asking all parents/carers/volunteers who have not completed this task, or who have let their checks lapse, to go to http://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov/child-safe-oranisations/working-with-children-check

If you are not sure if we have your current details, please call or email the front office and we will check for you.

When you have completed this task, please send in a copy of your WWCC to the office, along with your date of birth and we will verify it from our end. Once cleared you will be able to volunteer at school when things return to some form of normalcy. There is no charge for volunteers who apply for a Volunteer WWCC.

We would like to thank you in advance for attending to this matter promptly.

Thank you
