First Aid Training for Parents and Children

A huge thank you to Elisa (Elle) McGough( Mum of Saskia in Prep D) for organising two fantastic sessions of first aid training for both parents and children to attend. We had a wonderful turn out to both sessions and feedback on Melita Speirs, emergency nurse specialist was  amazing. I think this may now be an annual event.

School Disco is on tonight

We are looking forward to seeing everyone here at school tonight for our school Disco. Could parents please note the times for the  junior and  then the senior students. Thank you again to Nikki Rickard and Christie Kelso for their creativity and imagination and all the fabulous PFA committee for helping to organise the event. We are also grateful to the many parents who are helping out with the supervision. Make sure you take the opportunity to dance as well.

Sustainability News

We will be running a Nude Food lunchbox competition on Mondays every week, starting in Term 3.

We will have a trial day in the last week of this term, on Monday 25 June.

We would like each class to count up the amount of food packaging in students’ lunchboxes, including lunch orders, before recess.

A google doc will be set up for each class to input their data, and we will announce the winning class each Tuesday at assembly.

Our School Vision

Our vision is to be an exemplary learning community. We place the highest value on developing the whole child with the skills, knowledge and dispositions for a lifetime of inquiry. We strive for a culture of excellence for all learners with a nurturing and inclusive community to create a sense of belonging. We value diversity and seek to promote a deeper understanding of our world.

Compass

We use Compass School Manager to simplify our payment and permission system for events. Parents are able to login to their Compass account and give consent and payment for events at the one time (as explained on page 7 of this newsletter).  The 2018 Essential Education fees and Voluntary charges are also on Compass.

Compass is our parent portal where parents:

• Provide permission and payment for upcoming events
• Access information regarding upcoming events and news
• Access your child/ren’s Student Semester reports in June and December
• Approve or enter upcoming or past absences for your child/ren
• Book parent/student conferences
• Update your email address and mobile phone number for our records.

Follow this link to Compass. A step-by-step parent guide to navigating Compass can be found here.

You can also download the Compass School Manager app from the Apple App Store for your iPhone or iPad or from the Google Play Store for your Android phone or tablet.

Parking

Street parking is available along the surrounding roads. Please be courteous to our neighbours when parking, dropping off or collecting students from school. Obey parking signs and do not park in or over driveways. We ask that you leave enough time to drop off and pick up your children in a safe and legal manner.

Please give particular attention to how children alight from cars and come to meet you. If both home and school emphasise obeying road rules and safety procedures, our children will make a habit of responsible behaviour.
