Administration

Hello from the Administration team! 

Welcome to Term Two.

Important Information

Parents please check your child/ren’s school bags prior to leaving for school to ensure that they have their iPad/MacBook, water bottle, lunchbox, and a spare change of clothes (for Prep students). 

Should your child be absent, record it on the XUNO Family app, or inform the office at saltwater.p9.co@education.vic.gov.au, call us at 03 8366 7700. 

In the event of a swimming program or sporting event, could you please ensure that the appropriate clothing and equipment is with your child. 

Please note that it is preferable not to call the classrooms to collect items such as lunches, jackets, and bags as it is disruptive to the child/ren’s learning.

XUNO Family App

If you have not downloaded the XUNO Family app, please do so via iTunes or Google Play. Should you require assistance, kindly call or email the office and we can assist you with this. XUNO is important as you can report absences, approve and pay for excursions, and schedule parent-teacher and student conferences. 

Lunches

In the event that your child/ren does not have their lunch, it is discouraged to order food via UberEats or similar delivery services. Please note that the School has a canteen which you can order recess/lunch via Quickcliq. 

Early pickups

To ensure smooth early pickups, can you please inform the teacher and the office in advance as it is incredibly difficult to locate your child/ren during recess and lunch time.  This will also ensure that there is minimal disruption to classrooms.

Late pickups

If for some unforeseeable circumstances, you are running late to collect your child/ren could you please call the office or contact your child/ren’s teacher to advise. Please note that teachers will stay in the classroom with your child/ren until 2:50pm.  If the child/ren have not been collected, they are brought up to the office for pickup.  Please note that the school has a duty of care until 3:30pm.  If your child/ren have not been collected after this time it is a requirement of the school to contact the Department of Education and Training.

Lost Property

All lost property is located in the lost property cupboard at the back of the office, near the IT Department. Can you please ensure that items that do not belong to your child/ren are NOT removed from the lost property cupboard. It is highly recommended that all student uniform items be labelled with their names. The lost property cupboard is checked weekly and all uniforms that are labelled will be returned to your child/ren’s classroom.

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

The annual CSEF amount per student is:

• $125 for primary school students
• $225 for secondary school students

How To Apply

New applicants should contact the school office to obtain a CSEF application form.  Once completed please return this to the office with a copy of your Healthcare Card.

If you applied for CSEF last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 

You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments; your child has started or changed schools this year.
• changed family circumstances; such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Thanking you in advance for your understanding, to ensure a smooth start to Term Two.
