Parents/caregivers on the School Grounds during the school day: Keeping our students safe is our top priority. As such, we have processes that monitor who enters, and leaves the school site. We appreciate that parents/caregivers may at times have to collect or return students during the school day. It is really important that this is done through the front office so we have a record of who has been on the site, visitors are identifiable through a Visitors sticker or leave/late pass for their child, and we know which students have been signed in and out. Thank you for supporting our processes.
Student playground behaviour after school: We are so pleased to see so many families staying after school to play and socialise. Unfortunately, we have been informed of unkind behaviour being displayed by some children predominantly from the junior area, after school. The flying fox is one of the main areas where rough play, not sharing and inappropriate language has been noted by parents. We are keen to address this promptly. Teachers will review playground rules with students highlighting the expectation that the same rules are adhered to at school, and after school when they are in the care of their parents. Thank you for your support in fully supervising students playing after school and addressing inappropriate behaviour.
Trading Cards: The trading of cards at school is creeping into some of the upper years during breaks. We ask for parent and caregiver support in ensuring trading cards are kept at home. In the past we have found this activity to be a distraction, with ‘valuable’ cards going missing at school and time and energy lost in investigations.
