ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES

Another reminder that the Accessible Parking Spaces is only for those who have a parking permit for that space. There have been some parents and carers who have parked in these spaces during school dismissal. We would ask that these spots be left available for those members of the community who really need them who have the appropriate permit visible. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. 

STUDENTS ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL

We understand the challenges that come with getting students ready for school and ensuring they arrive on time. However, we'd like to emphasise the importance of punctuality, as it plays a significant role in your child's education and overall well-being. There were 85 students who were late to school last Thursday.

Children can be brought to school between 8:15am-8:45am. The school gates close a couple of minutes after 8:45am. 

We kindly request your support in ensuring that your child arrives at school on time. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can lead to occasional lateness, but regular tardiness can disrupt the learning environment for all students.

We believe that a strong partnership between parents, carers, and the school is essential for the success of our students. By working together, we can ensure that your child receives the best education possible.

If you have any questions or need assistance in promoting punctuality, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you and your child.

EMBEDDING OUR SCHOOL VISION & MISSION WITH STUDENTS

Last Friday we held our Staff Development Day. The theme of the day was to develop a shared understanding of our school's Vision and Mission and how we can work together to animate it for ourselves and students. 

Our commitment to fostering an environment of ‘Walking in peace and joy’ is paramount. We will begin to unpack this with students over the coming weeks. 

We will strive to instill in our students the importance of kindness in their daily interactions. Through both actions and words, we will encourage everyone to practise empathy, understanding and respect. We want our school to promote kindness, creating a happy and safe learning environment for all.

Students K-6 will have the opportunity to be involved in ‘Choosing Kind’ workshops:

Connecting US

The workshops will be facilitated by Cameron Brown. He is the founder and lead facilitator of Explore Discover Act and led leadership workshops with our Year 5 students in previous years. 

This well-being experience will benefit the students with their overall connections while strengthening their empathy and compassion for others. The aim is to assist students embed our school motto of ‘Walking in peace and joy’. We look forward to hearing about the impact of these workshops and sustaining a shared understanding of our Vision & Mission. Stage 3 will participate in the workshop tomorrow.
