IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Uniform Policy Reminder: 

 

Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct school uniform each day. This includes black school shoes.  

 

🟢 Joggers/sport shoes are only to be worn on sport day which is Friday.

 

🟢 Jewellery is NOT permitted to be worn at school except for simple sleepers, studs, medical bracelets or watches.  Nail polish or make up is NOT acceptable at school and should not be worn.  Piercings (other than ears) are not permitted at school. 

 

🟢 Patterns shaved into hair, dyed hair or ‘rats tails’ are NOT permitted at school.            Children with long hair (longer than collar) must wear their hair up off their shoulders in a pony tail or braid, etc. 

 

We appreciate your support.   

 

Before School Supervision

Please note when dropping your child to school of a morning:

 

ALL students arriving at school prior to 8.30am are to wait QUIETLY on the verandah.

Supervision of students does not commence until the gates are opened at 8.30am.

Students then put their bag away and remain seated under the COLA until playground supervision starts at 8.40am.

 

 

Birthday Cakes and Invitations:

While we LOVE birthdays and celebrations, we remind you that the school does not distribute birthday party invitations. The only exception is if everyone in the class is invited or all of either the boys or girls are invited as a gender group. It can be difficult for children to understand why they might not be invited, therefore invitations should be extended outside of school hours. 

 

Parents/guardians are welcome to bring in icy poles, lollipops or cupcakes on their child’s birthday however, we do ask that you contact the Office beforehand and arrange a time as well as check for any allergies that may be in your child's class group. Please do not bring in any food that includes nuts or traces of nuts.

 

Student Safety in School Zone

Parents are asked to be hyper vigilant at pick-up times. The safety of children arriving and leaving the school grounds is paramount and depends on all parents taking care. Please be diligent and put child safety before convenience. PLEASE USE THE CROSSING AREA when bringing your child to school and collecting them after school. 

 

Parents are NOT allowed to collect their children from the bus zone. If you need to change your pick up arrangement, please contact the school and we will give your child a message.
