Crossing Supervisor

Great news! After years of the P&C working together with the school and lobbying the local Council in the best interest of child safety, we have been approved through the RMS to have a Crossing Supervisor on McMillan Rd before and after school. 

The RMS are in the final stages of training the new recruit and this will take affect as soon as possible. Please be aware of this change when driving and ensure you talk with your children about listening and following the Crossing Supervisors directions. 

Teachers will speak with every class about the change and educate the children on appropriate behaviour when using crossings with or without a supervisor.

Student Sick Leave

As you would understand from previous Newsetters, it is a NSW requirement; that if a child has flu like symptoms, they must provide a negative COVID test before returning to school.

Currently when the school receives communication through the SZapp or school emails that a child is 'sick', the office are required to call families and check on symptoms and advise to get a COVID test before returning.

To save the office time calling families daily, could we please ask that you help us out when providing a reason for your child's absence.

If sick with flu like symptoms: Please note in the reason for absence, eg. flu like symptoms and I will get a COVID test.

If sick or absent for other reasons: Please give detail outlining symptoms or reason for leave so the office do not have to call or follow up if a COVID test is needed.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation, we appreciate it!

Extra Curricular Activities

Every year we communicate to families about looking out for the wellbeing of their child and ensuring that there is a healthy balance between educational studies and leisure activities. As educators we assess, plan and deliver differentiated programs to your children every day based on the NSW curriculum requirements. It is important that children have leisure time and engage in fun, non-educational activities to reduce the risk of cognitive overload which can occur when there is no ‘down time’ for students, outside of school hours. If you think your child might be a little overloaded with extra curricular activities, review current programs and ensure a healthy balance.
