Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

COMPASS UPDATE

As mentioned in previous newsletters, St John’s has started to use the Compass School Management System. Compass is a student information system that will allow you to access up-to-date and meaningful information about our school and your child’s progress including accessing school academic reports.

Next week, letters will be sent home to all parents containing login details, which will enable everyone to access the system. We will be holding two important parent workshops in the school library, facilitated by Catholic Education Office Staff in Week Seven on Tuesday 3rd September. One will be held for parents who drop off their children at 8:30am and again at 9:15am after assembly and the other at the end of the day at 2:30pm.

We will also have another workshop on Thursday 5th September at 2:30pm. It would be great to put these dates into your calendar. These workshops will greatly assist parents in effectively accessing and using the Compass App.

From next term, the current Skoolbag App will no longer be in use at the school because it will be replaced by Compass, which acts as a “one-stop shop”.

EXCERPT FROM THE UNIFORM POLICY

Parents are reminded of the following expectations in relation to hairstyles and cuts –

  • The emphasis is on ‘neat and tidy’
  • Shoulder length or longer hair for girls is to be tied back with school coloured ribbons
  • No bleached / dyed hair
  • Extremes of haircuts are not permitted, e.g., undercuts, long fringes with short on top, tracks, shaved, words, lines etc., are unsuitable
  • The emphasis is on evenly cut hair. Hair must be neatly groomed (combed or brushed) away from the student’s face. To reduce the transfer of head lice, hair that is collar length or longer is to be plaited, braided or tied back with hair accessories. Long hair not tied up could be ‘unsafe for the student and likely to result in a risk to health and safety of students and others’.
  • Hair should not be dyed un-natural colours during the school term. Inappropriate hairstyles (e.g. inappropriate words, shapes, stripes cut into the hair could ‘negatively influence the normal school operations’ and are therefore not permitted.
