The weeks seem to get busier and busier. A big thank you to our families when complying with the Pick Up and Drop Off arrangements. We will be continuing with this arrangement until further notice.

We are enjoying standing  at the front of the school and welcoming our students to  school.

It is, however, sad to see so many students who are late and arrive well after the bell goes. In a school with 1280 students we are seeing almost 10% of students coming to school late. 

We have attached some more advice and information in this week's Newsflash which may assist you.

STUDENT INVOICES

There are a number of activities that students have paid for that have not gone ahead due to the Coronavirus.

The office staff are currently working on refunding costs from the beginning of Covid until the end of this term. This may take a considerable amount of time.

Yr 6 Canberra Excursion will go ahead in November so will not be refunded.

Please contact the school if you have not received your refunds by the end of term.

UMBRELLAS AT SCHOOL

Rainwear for students at school should be  a raincoat and not umbrellas.

At school it's extremely dangerous trying to walk through the playground on a rainy days with so many umbrellas up.

ROAD SAFETY

PLEASE REMEMBER HOW WE KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE AROUND THE SCHOOL

Drive carefully and use the Kiss and Drop zone appropriately.

Use the pedestrian crossing when  crossing the road with your children. It is a good model for them and much safer for you and them.

When it is raining there is one key message to keep in mind - IT IS JUST WATER. If children get a bit wet they can always dry off at home. Raincoats are helpful.

There are many more cars around at the moment as parents Drop and Go.
