Homework will begin in week 4 and students are expected to bring their green, blue, or clear folder to school daily. Medications must be organized through the front office and updated medical information should be provided. Students should arrive before 8:55am and absences require a note within seven days. Personal items should be labeled to assist with returning lost property. A fruit break will be held each morning.
The excitement of the holiday season — and an extended vacation — can be both enlivening and disruptive. Bedtimes become later, schoolwork is temporarily forgotten and routines are altered in the face of travel and family engagements.

This information was presented on September 8, 2011, during parent orientation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child's teacher.
2. HOMEWORK
Homework will start in week 4. The books that will
come home for home reading are books that are
used on a daily basis for teaching in the
classroom. Please assist your child to remember
that their green, blue or clear folder must come
to school every day.
Students will never be punished for forgetting or
not completing homework.
3. MEDICATION
All medications must be organised with the front office.
Please do not send students to school with any
medication in their bag.
If you have important medical information regarding
your child, could you please pass on the updated details
to the front office staff. If your child has anaphylaxis,
asthma or acsia, we require an action plan developed
in conjunction with and signed off on by your GP
4. ATTENDANCE
For the benefit of all children, parents and carers should ensure
their child attends school regularly. School starts at 8:55am –
please try to arrive before this to allow students to settle and do
any morning jobs i.e. lunch orders.
Any absence from school needs to be explained within seven
days of the absence. Please send a written, dated and signed
note to your class teacher. If you are running late in the morning,
please fill in a late slip in the front office and give it to the
teacher. If you need to collect your child early for some reason,
you must also complete a form at the front office and give that
note to the class teacher. If your child is to be away for a longer
duration of time, please notify the front office in order to fill out
the appropriate forms.
5. LABELLING
Please label every item of clothing that might be
removed (hats, jumpers) and other belongings (lunch
box, drink bottle). This way any lost property can be
returned to your child.
6. LOST PROPERTY
There are two yellow bins in the lobby outside
Mrs Wagner’s classroom that may contain
your child’s lost item.
8. SCRIPTURE
Students have been placed in the same Scripture
group as last year. If you would like to make any
changes to the Scripture group that your child
attends, please send a note to the office. Ethics
classes will be offered to both Year 1 and Year 2
students.
9. HEAD LICE
Unfortunately these can be a common occurrence!
We recommend that you regularly check your child’s
hair. As infestations can be quite common in primary
schools, it is best to use a treatment that can be used
over time. There is no single solution to eradication,
only persistence.
10. EASTER HAT PARADE
Year 1 will be participating in the Easter Hat
Parade and year 2 will be part of the Egg
Decorating Competition. This will be held in
week 10, 2nd April, 2015.
11. NOTES AND MONEY
All notes with money are to be handed
in at the front office. All other notes go
straight to the classroom teacher.
12. COMMUNICATING WITH TEACHERS
If you wish to discuss your child’s progress or any queries or concerns, please
organise an interview with your teacher at a mutually agreeable time.
Parent Teacher Interviews: A formal week has been set aside for Week 10.
Teacher Emails – All emails are to be addressed to the school. These will
then be passed onto the class teacher. Individual teachers may wish to
hand out their emails at their own discretion.
13. ASSEMBLIES
Assemblies will not commence until Term 2. This allows the
students to spend Term 1 practising singing and assembly
routines in preparation for Term 2. All classes will still have the
opportunity to run an assembly with parents informed of their
child’s performance through the classroom teacher. The set
number of class awards will still be handed out by the classroom
teacher at singing every alternate week.
