Term 1 - Important Dates to Remember
A note from the Principal Welcome to the 2020 school year, I hope you all had a
wonderful, refreshing break. We especially welcome
new students and families to our school – including
our new Kindergarten families.
An Excellent Start - 2020
What a great start we’ve had to 2020. Huge thanks to
all who made this possible – and many thanks to our
wonderful staff for coming in early and preparing
programs and resources throughout the holidays to
fully engage and challenge our students. We had
many teachers come in through the holidays getting
their rooms sorted and helping others with their
rooms.
Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten students have been at school for 2
days now and we will be welcoming them onto the big
playground next week. Special thanks to the Kindy
teachers and Teacher Aides who have worked
tirelessly to give our beautiful new students a great
start to big school.
Meet the Teacher
We welcome all parents to meet their child’s class
teacher in week 4 (17th to 21st February) during the
teacher’s Release from Face to Face teaching time –
letters will be sent out shortly with session times.
During this time teachers won’t be able to discuss
each individual child’s needs; should you wish to
discuss anything of this nature you would need to
make an appointment at another time. If you are
unable to attend this “Meet the Teacher” session any
information sheets and notes given out will be sent
home with your child to keep you fully informed.
Welcome to our new Teachers
Mr Craig Bamford has been teaching for over 9 years most recently at Glendenning Public School.
Mrs Deb Anderson is a teacher with a wealth of experience, including time as an Assistant Principal and Acting Principal.
We are so happy to have you join the Clairgate family!
Clairgate Toddler Group
Our Toddler Group started last week and is held every Friday from 9.00 -11.00am. Come along with your toddlers – have some fun and help them socialise!
Some timely reminders…
New Parent Volunteers – We welcome all our Parent Volunteers and ask that you come into the office and complete all checks necessary to ensure our students stay safe. Usually this will be a 100 point ID and may include a Working With Children Check. Please ask at the office about what is required.
Parking Reminder – Please do not park in the staff car park to drop off or pick up your children – this car park is only for school staff and visitors on school business. Those holding a disability parking permit may park if absolutely necessary.
Shearer St Parking concerns – Please be careful when parking near residents’ driveways – at times it is difficult for the residents to drive safely out of their driveways.
