KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION 

The three orientation sessions for Kindergarten 2021 children will now be going ahead. 

• Orientation Day 1 - Friday 6th November 2020 - 9am -11am
• Orientation Day 2 - Friday 13th November 2020 - 9am - 11am
• Orientation Day 3 - Friday 20th November 2020 - 9am - 11am

The Orientation Days for children are significant in helping children familiarise themselves with the school environment and helping to make the transition to ‘big school’ so much easier.  These days are also used by teachers to make observations that may help us to cater for your child’s needs.  Children should be dressed in appropriate casual clothing with a hat and closed in shoes.  Your child should bring a water bottle and cut fruit for morning tea each visit.

Please note the Parent Morning Tea on Friday 6th has been cancelled.

PRESENTATION NIGHT  - The New Virtual Look!

Given the restrictions in place, our annual presentation night will take on a different format this year. Instead of viewing the evening from a chair at the TRECC, families will be able to sit together in the comfort of their own home to watch the amazing talents of our students and staff celebrating the 'year that was' via a prerecorded link. Planning is well underway to dazzle our audience ensuring every single student has their moment to shine. Watch this space for more information.

SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS

All parents need to be aware, our supervision of students

does not begin until 8.15am each day.

We are increasingly concerned that children are being dropped off and left on their own, unsupervised by parents before this time - often up to half an hour earlier. This is not a safe or acceptable practice. Currently, students are expected to come in and sit in the Holy Family Courtyard unsupervised and wait. We cannot be responsible for any accident or potentially harmful incidents occurring. Please organise alternative care for your child if your child requires supervision before 8.15am.
