OSHC Fee Increase
The price per session for our OSHC program will increase to $22.00 from Monday 16th August 2021.
The cost of our program is significantly lower than others in our region with the cost as high as $30 per session for services that are provided by a third-party provider.
Our aim is to keep our fees affordable for our families but due to the cost of wages and other associated running expenses, we have had to make this increase to ensure our program is still viable to run.
Student Pickup from Back Gate
Due to the large number of parents who are choosing to pick up students at the Game Street gate during afternoon pick up times, it is vital that parents assist younger students to access vehicles. We are now posting a yard duty teacher at the gate to make sure students only leave the school grounds after their parents turn up. To ensure the safety of all students, we strongly urge parents of younger children to leave their cars once they are parked and wait for children at the gate. Parents can then safely escort children to their cars.
Dogs on School Grounds
If you are bringing a dog to school at pick-up or drop-off times please make sure it is on a lead and that you wait outside the gate for your child/ren. We have students with allergies and some students that are very nervous around dogs. Thank you.
School Pick up
At the end of the school day, parents are requested to wait outside Learning Centres while classes are still operating. If parents need to speak with a teacher please contact Heather Collihole on 50252501 and a time will be arranged. The primary end of day bell is at 3:12pm.
Before School
Families please be aware that students who arrive at school before 8.40am can go to the Breakfast Club, held in the Canteen from 8.15am. Alternatively, they may sit on the seats at the back of the Green Building until 8.40am. Students are not to play out the front of the Green Building until 8.40am when the front playground is supervised and the doors of the Green Building are opened.
Lost Property
We have a LOT of primary jumpers in our lost property. If your child is missing a jumper please tell them to ask Mrs Collihole if it is in lost property.
There are also a LOT of containers and drink bottles too.
Naming Articles
Please remember it is very important to name all your children’s property clearly, especially hats and jumpers, bags, drink bottles and lunch containers.
