This Fortnight's News
Term 1, Week 10
Parking on the Oval
Parking on the Oval is not permitted.
While we understand that the car park is busier on some days of the week than others, we cannot allow vehicles to be parked on the oval. The safety of our students and our crossing supervisors is our first priority. Once the wet weather is upon us the oval gets very soggy. Please allow sufficient time to park in the designated parking areas or on Golf Links Road.
Pedestrian Safety
Could parents on foot please enter/exit the school via the pedestrian gate and not through the staff car park.
Also, please be advised that the pedestrian gate that runs parallel to the driveway, is not to be used during the following times:
8.30am - 9.10am and 2.50pm - 3.30pm
This is to ensure the safety of pedestrians and to allow cars to drive safely through the car park area. Please use the pedestrian gate at the front of the school or the crossing.
School Uniform
We would like to ask all students to wear their school uniforms respectfully. This includes Bomber Jackets. We kindly ask that casual hoodies, jumpers, black shorts, bike pants, or black tracksuit pants are not worn to school. If your child isn't in full school uniform please ask them to come to the office to collect a uniform pass.
The Grade 6 students were excited to receive their Bomber Jackets on Monday of this week, they are all looking sharp and beaming with pride!
We have a range of pre-loved good quality items in the second-hand uniform shop. Please see the attached list of required school uniforms. We also ask that collars are folded over neatly and not tucked in as noted with some students, we appreciate your effort in setting a standard for all students in our school uniform.
No dogs allowed
Just a quick reminder that no dogs are allowed on school grounds due to our well-being dog, Ziggy, regularly visiting our school.
Fee Schedule 2023
Please find the fee schedule outlined below. If you would like to set up a payment plan for 2023 please contact the office or email: admin@safranksth.catholic.edu.au
Give blood this Easter
Did you know that 1 in 3 people require life-giving blood products?
Help those in need by donating blood and plasma through the Red Cross and their Lifeblood appeal.
Newsletter Invite
We have had several requests for grandparents and special people to be able to be included in some correspondence to keep up with all of the exciting things we are up to at St A's!
If you would like to include members of your family, please contact the office with their email address and we can organise this for you.
Trading Cards
As previously mentioned, ALL trading cards, including Pokemon, Football, Basketball, Soccer, etc are banned from school. The exchange of trading cards is no longer permitted during school hours. We would appreciate your support with this decision moving forward.
Late Arrivals and Extended Absences
All late arrivals must come via the office and sign in. We are happy to assist you and your children at the office. If in doubt, please drop by so we can make sure your child has arrived at school safely. This avoids us from sending you a clarification text. If you have a senior student please remind them they must come via the office to let us know they have arrived at school.
Extended absences for example holidays during term time need to be communicated with our principal, Mrs. Carrie Rodda. Please email her directly: principal@safranksth.catholic.edu.au
Food & Drinks on the Playground
Just a friendly reminder that no food or drinks are to be consumed on the playground by visitors, parents, or siblings of students. We have a number of students with severe anaphylaxis. Any foods containing milk and milk protein must not be consumed on the school grounds (including all takeaway coffee, drinks in keep cups, etc). We kindly ask for your co-operation, if you have any questions please contact the office.
