Drive and park safely near schools

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools. Please keep our children safe by remembering to:

• always take extra care when driving in 40km school zones
• never double park – it is illegal and puts children at risk
• park responsibly even if this means you have to walk further
  to the school gate; please do not park in nearby private buildings
• follow all parking signs – these help keep children as safe as
  possible
• model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours
  to your children

Check-In Assessments

Students in Years 3-6 are participating in a reading and numeracy Check-in assessment. The Check-in assessment is an NSW Department of Education online reading and numeracy assessment for students to complete at school after returning from learning at home.  The Check-in assessment is a diagnostic assessment to inform teaching. There are no official parent reports available. The assessment supplements existing school practices to identify how students are performing and to help teachers tailor their teaching more specifically to student needs. This forms part of the return to school plan ensuring teacher are informed to support students learning needs effectively.  The assessment will be scheduled for our students during Term 4,  from the 27th October - 5th November. Students with disability may receive the same level of support during the assessment that they would normally receive in the classroom.
