News From The Office

Uniting Church - Gifts for families

We welcome any donation as per the below. Please hand into the office.

CSEF

If you hold a Health Care Card number (CRN) or have a Centrelink pensioner concession card, even if it was valid a few years back, you may have CSEF funds available to use against your childs Camps, Sporting activities, Excursions etc. If you are unsure if you have any or want to find out how much you have left, please contact the office and we can hep you out.

Sunscreen

Please note that we DO NOT provide sunscreen in the classrooms due to allergies. As the weather is finally warming up, please ensure that your child has sunscreen on before they come to school. Children are welcome to bring their own sunscreen to school to put on themselves throughout the day. Please make sure it is clearly labelled with their name. Sunscreen must not be shared between children.

Update personal details

Please advise the office if you have moved addresses, have a new phone number or new emergency contacts. It is very important to have all your details up to date in case of an emergency with your child.

Lions Community Raffle

We have some raffle tickets supplied by the Lions Community Club. All money raised will go towards the school. Tickets are available on the front desk at the office for $2 each.

Attendance

If your child is going to be away sick, has an appointment or family holiday. Please make sure you add an attendance note via Compass. 

Rollins Primary School recognises that being at school on time and attending every day contributes towards a student's learning and that maximising school attendance enhances academic outcomes.

We take attendance very seriously at Rollins PS and have a goal to have as close to 100% of student attendance as possible.

For more information regarding attendance please follow the link to the Education Department's Attendance Policy

Toys at school

We are noticing a lot of children bringing soft toys to school to play with at recess and lunch. Can we please remind you all that we cannot take responsibility for things that have been brought from home like plush toys, balls and other small figures. Children are coming up to the office asking for their lost items. Please be aware of what your child is bringing to school and if they choose to bring something from home, it must be clearly labelled.

Smoking

Unfortunately, we have noticed quite a few parents/carers who are smoking within school grounds and at the exit gates. Smoking in these places is a fineable offence.

A person must not smoke cigarettes including e-cigarettes (regardless of whether they contain nicotine) within school premises and within 4 metres of any pedestrian access to school premises.
