Open Day 

All parents are welcome to attend Open Day on Thursday. This is a time for parents to view learning in action. Feel free to visit other classrooms to observe a range of learning experiences. I would like to remind parents this is not a time to discuss your child's progress. We will have Parent/Teacher/Student conferences in week 9. Thank you for your support. 

TTFM Survey

In the coming weeks we will be inviting students, teachers and parents to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.

 

 

 

Afternoon Car Pick Up 

I have had some complaints from parents regarding afternoon pick up. A reminder to parents that when you drop off or pick up your children that you follow the guidelines below to ensure the safety of everyone. 

 

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and vehicles outside the school. That’s why you need to take extra care in 40km/h school zones. 

 

Park safely and legally, even if it means walking further to the school gate. Parking signs are planned with children’s safety in mind. 

 

Slow down to 40km/h in the school zone and stay aware of crossings. 

  • Always park and turn legally around the school.
  • Never double park as it puts children at risk.
  • Make sure your children use the Safety Door (rear footpath side door) to get in and out of the car.
  • Model safe and considerate behaviour for your child – they will learn from you.
  • Please remember to be patient, courteous and respectful when driving around the school. 
  • Don’t park across the school driveway or the entrance to the school car park.
  • For more information on keeping our kids safe around schools visit the parents section on safetytown.com.au

Assembly

From Week 4, Assembly will be on a Monday morning due to Robotics lessons on Fridays.
