Communication with College Staff

Often parents need to communicate information to their child’s teachers regarding changes of routine and exemption from participation in sport, specialist lessons or activities due to injury or illness. To avoid confusion and to ensure students are where they are meant to be particularly at the end of the day, we ask that parents put all of these changes in writing. All teachers can be contacted by email. Students in Year 3-5 will also receive a student diary, which has space for notes of this nature.

Shared Food

As some restrictions remain in place, shared food for student birthdays (such as cupcakes) is unable to be brought onto campus and distributed. We understand that celebrating a birthday in an important milestone for a young child and as a College, we are working towards providing COVID safe options.

The tuckshop is in the process of developing a birthday pack that can be ordered online and delivered directly to your child’s learning space. Further information regarding this will be provided shortly. Food items from home will be sent home and not distributed at school.

Uniforms

A reminder that the College hat is an important element of the school uniform. During breaks students need to wear a hat or they are required to stay out of the sun. Students should also wear their hats when travelling to and from the College.

Students in Years 1-5 may only wear their sports uniform to school on the days they have HPE. Years 4 and 5 students may also wear their HPE uniforms to school on Thursdays. There may also be occasions during the year when students are requested to wear their sports uniform to school for carnivals or excursions. On all other occasions, students should attend school in their formal uniform.

If for some reason your child is unable to wear the correct uniform to school, please send a note to your child’s class teacher. A uniform reminder letter will be forwarded to parents whose children are in the wrong uniform without a note.

Car Parks

A reminder to all parents and students that they are to use the appropriate car park at the beginning and at the end of the day. Prep – Year 2 students are able to use the front car park. Students across Years 3-12 are to use the senior drop off or car park at the western side of the College.
