General Requirements

Children are provided with most of their needs ie. pencils, scissors, etc., but if you wish your children to bring their own coloured pencils, glue sticks etc., they may do so.

It is important to label all articles of clothing, drink bottles, lunch boxes etc., with your child's name.

A clean handkerchief or tissue daily is a must.

If your child does not feel well or is suffering from a fever please do not send them to school.

If your child is absent, please send along an explanatory note when he/she returns to school.

 If you arrive late or leave early you must call in at the office to sign your child in or out.

A paint shirt is very important to protect their uniform. Any old large shirt will do.

The school has a policy of No hat, No play to protect your child. If on any particular day your child does not have his/her hat they must then stay in the shade at play times.

Interviews and Discussions

Please do not hesitate to phone and make an appointment with the Class Teacher or the Principal if you wish to discuss any aspects of your child's education. Formal Parent/Teacher interviews are held in June.

Safety Precautions

Teachers are always concerned about the safety of children attending the school.
There is no supervision of the playground before 9.00 am or after 3.30 pm. Please do not send your child to school before 9.00 am and ensure they are picked up promptly when school finishes.

Sick and Injured Children

Sometimes the school needs to contact parents about medical aid for children. Please inform us if there have been any changes in address or contact phone numbers.

Special Needs

If your child has special needs please let the class teacher or office know as soon as possible. If your child must take medication at school please send full written instructions and written authorisation.

The School Counsellor is available to discuss with parents matters regarding your child's emotional and academic development. The School also has support teachers who assist classroom teachers with children who have special needs.

Special Days

Excursions

As part of their education, children attend school excursions. Please send the correct money in the permission envelope with your child's name, class and amount clearly marked. A separate envelope for each child and excursion would really be appreciated by the office. If you need financial support contact the office.

Times for Daily Routine

Kindergarten children should be collected from the kindergarten classrooms as close as possible to the dismissal time. Children are easily distressed if their parents are late.
