Week 1 Term 4 Notices

 Welcome to Term 4. It is going to be extremely busy with lots of exciting opportunities as well as squeezing in a few that were postponed from earlier in the year.  

On Thursday R1, 4 and 5 are holding a bake sale at morning tea. It would be great if all students in R4 could do some home baking to bring along to sell. The money we raise will go towards our Young Vinnies groups fundraising and also to buy some equipment for our Maker space. 

We are swimming every odd week so students need their togs this week.  The pool will be warm.

Uniforms

Lots of parents have been in to sort out summer uniforms. Students are to start Term 4 in full summer uniform. Our Uniform Shop is open Mondays (8.30-9.00am), Wednesdays (2.30-3.00pm) & Fridays (8.30-9.00am) during term time. The girls’ summer dresses are currently only available from our school uniform shop. Please don’t forget children need to wear the school sun hats in term 4.

We also sell school uniforms via our school website. You can order and pay online and pick up your uniform from the school reception after you have been notified by email that the uniform is ready to pick up.

Working Bee

We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, October 31st. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I am always amazed at the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.

COVID UPDATE: LEVEL 1 Parents are welcome to come into school as has been the case in Level 2. (Please continue to use the contact tracing app and QR code placed at all three entrances). There will also be sanitising units at all gates. Please use them. We do however encourage you to drop your child at the gate as this gives students great self-management skills and independence, and enables students before school to engage more fully with other students and teachers.

There are no restrictions on numbers at gatherings, so you are welcome to come to our assemblies.

We will continue to encourage basic hygiene measures such as handwashing and use of sanitiser, cough and sneeze etiquette, regularly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces.

Please keep your child home if they are unwell, or required to self-isolate.
FROM TOMORROW, start of Term 4:
In the mornings from 8.25pm there will be a teacher at the Church car park gate only. There will not be a teacher at the Ranolf or Carnot St gates. School will start at 8.45am. Please ensure that your child is at school prior to this.

Children will be permitted to play in the playground before school.

In the afternoon there will be a teacher at all 3 gates. There will be a pick up zone for parents to pick up children without needing to get out of the car in the Church Carpark.

At the end of the day school will finish at 3.00pm for all students, the ONLY EXCEPTION is that bus students need to leave class for the Ranolf St gate at 2.50pm.
