Mother's Day

SCHOOL FEES- are due on Wednesday 31st May

UNIFORM EXPECTATIONS

It is expected that all children will adhere to the regulation uniform. Uniforms give the child a sense of belonging to the school community, a feeling of pride in themselves and their school, and assists greatly in setting the tone and discipline of the school. It also identifies our school in the wider community. The wearing of the school uniform will be enforced in the school. Parents’ assistance in this matter is most important.

Students are now expected to be in their full winter uniform. This includes the school tie.

SCHOOL HATS- We have noticed an increasing number of students coming to school without their school hat. Please help remind your child to pack their hat each day.

Some student's hats are looking very tired and faded with frayed edges. Please have a look at your child's hat and if it needs replacing you can purchase via the uniform shop or in the office.

The uniform shop is open Wednesdays and Thursdays 1.00pm - 4.00pm during school terms. You can also order on QKR. QKR orders are distributed to students on Thursdays and Fridays.

REMINDER

Hair: Should be neat and tidy at all times and if long it must be tied back using maroon, blue or white hair ties.

Current cuts that show fading, mohawks, long fringes and mullet type hair cuts may be popular but need to be saved for the holidays. We need parents to support the policy of the school in this particular case please.

TOYS AT SCHOOL

Please keep in mind that we do not encourage toys at school. If your child is bringing something to show the class that is okay. No child needs to be carrying a toy around at school unless there is an arrangement with the child’s teachers.
