Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

The term is flying by. It is hard to believe there are only a few weeks left to go before the Easter break is upon us.

Drop Off and Pick Up Zone.

To ensure all of our children are kept safe, I would like to take this opportunity to remind people of how this area works.

If using this designated yellow drop off zone children are expected to exit and enter  the car from the left hand side directly onto the curb.  Bags should be in the car with the children. Children should not be opening boots and getting bags out as this puts them in harm's way if a car behind them was to not stop or the driver was to accidentally put their foot on the accelerator. 

Ensure children exit or enter the car once you have entered the designated drop off area.  We have children exiting and entering cars back at the disabled car parks or earlier which is also putting them potentially in harm's way.

To ensure the traffic flows once your children have exited your car safely please pull out into the first through lane.

If you need to access bags from the boot, we ask that you please park.  Please then use the footpath and zebra crossing to get to Gate B for access to the school grounds.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that when staff remind you of the rules they are doing so to ensure that your child is kept safe and to keep the flow of traffic moving so that the area can be cleared as quickly as possible.  Staff members should not be subjected to abuse for doing their job.

School Photos

School Photos will be on Tuesday 21st March.  All students need to be in full summer uniform.  Envelopes should have been returned to school.  If they haven’t please ensure they are by Tuesday.

Parent/Teacher Interviews

Bookings have now closed for our upcoming Parent/Teacher interviews to be held on Monday 20th & Tuesday 21st March from 3.30-6.00pm.  If you were unable to make a booking and wish to do so please contact your classroom teacher directly to book a time in.

Hot Cross Bun Drive

Thank you to Danielle and her helpers from the P&F for organising this fundraising event.  The office area certainly smelt amazing on Thursday while the packing of orders was happening.  Special mention to Richard Wright for picking up the order for us and delivering it to school.  This event raised approximately $900.

Kind Regards

Michelle Charlton
