Students will require a library bag for book borrowing and are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear for Physical Education and for playing in the playground.
Please ensure that all items of clothing, lunch boxes, drink bottles, etc, are labelled with your child’s name.
The students are able to bring their drink bottles and small healthy snacks such as dried fruit and fresh fruit or vegetables cut up—”brain food” into class so that they may access them whenever they need to and during Munch ‘n’ Crunch time.
Beginning of the Day
Teachers are in the class from 8.45 am and we encourage
students to be in the class 5 to 10 minutes prior to the start of school each morning to prepare for the day ahead. This helps foster independence and responsibility, and makes for a settled start to their school day. Parents are, of course, welcome to speak with teachers briefly before school if necessary. Parents can support their children’s learning by ensuring that they are at school on time and by allowing them to come into class and prepare for lessons independently. Before school begins, children should make sure they have brought in their reader packs, drink bottles and their Munch ‘n’ Crunch.
End of the Day
At the end of the day, a teacher will accompany your child to the dismissal area near the shedatorium. A teacher will be there supervising until all children are collected.
Please notify us if someone else is collecting your child.
After School Care and Collection
Please notify the teachers of the days that your child will be going to after school care and if there are any changes to this arrangement.
Absences
It is a school priority to improve the attendance rate of our students. If your child is absent for any reason, please call 5367 2907 or text 0409 589 888 the school prior to 9 am with your child’s name, grade level, reason for absence and expected return date. Children’s absences are recorded on the Education Department database. Unexplained absences will be followed up. Should you need to remove your child from school during the day, you need to first visit the office to sign your child out for the day.
Lateness
It is essential that you first visit the office if you arrive at school after 9.15 am. As per Departmental policy, we are required to enter any lateness to arrive at school into the Education Department database.
Term 1 and 4 HATS – please remember that if your child does not have a hat then the NO HAT NO PLAY IN THE SUN policy applies.
