A letter was sent home in an envelope in week 2 and the same information has been in the Newsletter. You can also access the information in its entirety on our website:

Late arrivals and absentees ….have you let the office know?
It is important to maintain accurate absentee records for our students and we ask that families notify our front office directly if your child/ren are late or absent for any reason.
A student not in the classroom at 8.50am when the roll is taken, is recorded as absent and remains an unexplained absence until we are advised otherwise.
All student movement during a school day is monitored from the front office and we rely on families completing our late arrival and early dismissal sign in/sign out registers to account for students particularly during our most important and regular Fire and Evacuation Drills.
Many thanks

Important information for families ......
Our “Flying Start” week was very successful as we devote the first week of the year to social and emotional learning, part of our wider work under the umbrella of “BeYou”.
BeYou is the new Australian program that we have adopted which aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children. In the first week of school children will be working with the MindUp Curriculum, friendly Schools program and “What’s the Buzz?” (this falls under the banner of BeYou) focussing on developing emotional literacy to set up the year in a positive way.
We celebrated the week with a sausage sizzle on Friday.
Welcome to 2020 and our theme for the year: “A Heart that Sees”
