From the Principal
Welcome to our first newsletter for the 2021 school year!
What a fantastic settled start we have had to the year. It was wonderful to see students coming in on the first day with smiles and lots of enthusiasm for the new year.
A huge thank you to our families for your preparation and support in having children well presented and emotionally ready for school.
As always it is important that we remind the school community at the beginning of each year about our duty of care in relation to starting and finishing times.
- School's duty of care for students begins at 8:30am daily....students should not be at school before this time unless they are going to Before School Care or are accompanied by an adult.
- Students arriving after 9:00am must sign in at the office.
- Students must be picked up as close to 3:00pm as possible unless attending After School Care or waiting for a bus. School staff are rostered on to supervise bus duty. We understand that there may be times when family members are caught up on the way to collect children from school. If this happens please give the school office a call. Children still outside waiting after the outside duty person has completed their duty, will be asked to wait in the office foyer to be collected from there as teaching staff often have meetings to attend after 3:00pm. This is a matter of our duty of care.
A few things about road traffic & pick up.....
- If picking up from the 'Pick up | Drop off' zone, please be aware that this is a strictly no parking area.
- This means that you must only use this area to pull in and pick up or drop off
- Cars arriving early for pick up, must not park in this area to wait...the idea is to keep the flow of the traffic going.
- Students are being asked to wait at the steps closest to the roundabout and access their 'pick up' from there. Please remember to keep moving up as cars leave so that cars are not lined up down the road waiting.
This works very well when everyone follows the process.
Car Park
Our school car park is reserved for staff, school visitors and for disabled parking only. Use of the carpark for general drop off and pick up is a safety hazard for our students.
Thank you in advance for helping us keep our students safe by following these processes.
