In Term 1 our Canteen will continue to deliver online lunch orders on Fridays starting Friday the 7th of February (there will not be any online orders on Friday the 14th February due to our special Chinese New Year lunch). At this stage there will not be any over the counter service.

Orders must be placed by 7.30am Friday morning at the latest to ensure your child receives their lunch.

Attendance

Did you know that absences can be entered directly into Compass by Parents/Carers? This is our preferred method of communication, however Parents/Carers can also contact the school to discuss attendance issues or report a student absence (preferably before 8.40 am).

Late arrivals

All students arriving late to school (ie. after 8.50am) must report to the Administration Office before heading to their classroom to obtain a late pass. This late pass then needs to be handed to their teacher. Students will be directed back up to the office by the teacher if they do not have a late pass.

Early Leavers

All parents wishing to collect their child/ren early (ie. before 3pm) must report to the Administration Office before heading to their child's classroom to obtain an early leavers pass. This early leavers pass will then need to be handed to their teacher. Parents will be directed to the Administration Office by the teacher to obtain an early leavers pass before a student is released from class.
