General P-5 Update

Student Sign In / Out

A reminder to parents of Prep – Year 5 students, when signing your children in or out from the College, please do so from the Junior Administration Office, which is located adjacent to the Year 2 building.

Hats

Students and parents are reminded that the College hat is an important element of the school uniform. A number of students are already presenting to school each day without a hat. During break times, students need to wear a hat or they are required to stay out of the sun. Students should also be wearing their hats when travelling to and from the College.

Car Park Etiquette

Before and after school each day, the Prep – Year 2 car park can become quite congested. Often parents are hurrying to drop children off on their way to work or rushing to collect students for after school activities. Please remember there is a speed limit of 10km/h in all College car parks.

Parents are also reminded not to park in the drop of zones as this causes increased congestion. Please follow signage and road markings as well as the directions of staff on duty. Your assistance in keeping our students safe and lessening stress and congestion in the car park is most appreciated.

Communication With Staff 

Often, parents need to communicate information to their child’s teachers regarding changes of routine and exemption from sport, specialist lessons or activities. Each morning parents tend to verbally advise teachers of such changes.

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. There are a number of ways parents can communicate with staff:

• All teachers can be contacted by email;
• Teachers in Prep – Year 2 can be contacted through their class communication books; or
• A short note can be sent with students to pass on to their teacher.

We appreciate your support in assisting teachers with this matter.
