KINDERGARTEN 2019

On Wednesday, we welcomed our new Kinders to school.   They have had a magnificent start to primary school. Each year The Northern Daily Leader visits and takes photos of our new Kindy Kids as part of a 12-page pictorial. This will be happening once again this year and it is important that we obtain authorisation from parents for children to be photographed. A Media and Communications Consent Form is attached below and a printed copy will be sent home with your child today .  Please complete and return to your class teacher by Monday, 11 February 2019.

CAR PICK UPS - NO STOPPING SIGN

A reminder to our parents using the car pickups area in Carthage Street.  Please note, there is a NO STOPPING SIGN at the corner of Carthage and Roderick Streets.  NO STOPPING, means NO STOPPING.  Please remember this when using car pickups in the afternoon and drop offs in the morning.

MANNERS MATTER ON THE ROAD

Please be courteous and considerate to our neighbours.  Do not park over driveways.  Be aware, that they need to access entry to their home just as you do.  

Think before you react or say something unkind.

SCHOOL STUDENT TRANSPORT SCHEME (SSTS)

Applications now open for 2019

School student applications for 2019 open from Monday, 15 October 2018.

Students progressing to year 3 and year 7 do not need to re-apply if they:

• are continuing at the same school
• are residing at the same address
• have not been sent an expiry notification from Transport for NSW.

Where a student meets the new distance eligibility, the system will automatically update their entitlement. If they do not meet the new eligibility, they will receive an expiry notification.  Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition which is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply.  Term Bus Pass holders will receive a notification to re-apply.  If students need to update their information or re-apply, they should go online to https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/updateDetails

Applications need to be submitted before 31 December 2018 to ensure student entitlements are updated and their current entitlement/card is not cancelled. If their application is submitted after  31 December 2018, the system will automatically cancel a card and a new one will need to be issued.

Students residing in Rural and Regional (R&R) areas should receive their travel pass at the commencement of the new school year from their nominated operator. Note: some R&R operators do not issue travel passes. Students should check with their operator for more information.
