School Information

Regular attendance of children at school is crucial to their learning and well-being. Children are legally obliged to attend school from enrolling until they are 16 years old.

It is expected that whenever your child is absent, the school is notified either by phone (8262 4864) or Seesaw. All absences are followed up by class teachers.

Families who are on holidays during term time are asked to let the school know. If the holiday is longer than a week, a form (available from the Front Office required by the Department for Education) must be completed and approved by the Principal.

Children are expected to be in their classroom and ready for learning by 8:55am. If a child is frequently late or absent families will be contacted and it may be necessary for the school to advise the Department for Education Social Worker for Truancy.

Children must remain on the school grounds between 8:35am and 3:05pm unless collected by a family member.  If your child/ren is late for school or you wish to collect your child/ren early from school we ask you to come to the Front Office to sign your child/ren in or out first (if signing your child out during break times or after 2:45pm, you must pre arrange with your class teacher or the front office). Class teachers will be contacted to confirm your child has been signed out by our Administration Team.  This ensures the safety of all children.

Assemblies occur 2 times per term at 9:30am on Fridays of Weeks 3 and 7, celebrating children’s learning. Families are welcome to attend and will be informed of additional dates via Seesaw or our Social Media platforms.

Excursions are an important part of our educational program.  Each family will be advised well before the day so that consent forms and money can be returned.  We are unable to take children out of the school on excursions without consent from families. We use Edsmart to accept payment and send consent forms home electronically. We do not accept cash or in person payments.

If at any time you have difficulty in meeting the cost of excursions, please speak to us or enquire at the office about a time payment plan. We want all children to have the opportunity to participate in activities. Families are always welcome and are in fact sometimes needed to assist on excursions. They are a lot of fun and the children tend to feel special when their families come along, particularly the younger children.
