School Fees

Invoices for school fees have been sent home. We would

ask that all fees are paid by the end of term and you can

pay online for more than one student , just put one students

name in and pay the full amount of the invoice , we will be

able to take care of the rest.

Absences

Please be aware that it is department requirement that

schools submit and monitor student attendance on a regular

basis. If your child is absent from school please inform us by

phone, directly in Sentral or make sure when your child

returns to school they have a note explaining why they were

absent. Partial absences also need to be explained this

should be in person, note with child or a phone call to the

office.

P&C Annual General Meeting

Just a reminder that the P&C Annual General Meeting is on

Tuesday 13 March at 7.30pm in the staffroom. All positions

will become vacant and nominations will be asked for,

everyone is welcome to attend. New members are always

welcome, even if you do not wish to take on a position.

A nomination form can be found online in one of the last

two newsletters.

Meet the Teacher

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Meet the

Teacher afternoon last week. It was a great opportunity to

meet your child’s teacher and familiarise yourself with class

expectations for 2018. Thank you to our Year 6 parents who

remained at school for a Year 6 to Year 7 meeting to discuss

the processes for making an application to High School for

2019. Mr Greg Johnson, Principal of Seven Hills High School

attended the meeting to answer any questions or concerns.

School Carparks

School carparks are for staff use only please do not park in

the carparks to pick up or drop off your children. Parents

may enter the top carpark if they are picking up or dropping

off for before and after school care only. This is only before

8.30am and after 3.30pm. Please do not walk through the

carparks.

School Volunteers

Please remember it would be helpful if all volunteers

(including class helpers) could provide a working with

children check. It is not a necessity to have a WWCC if

assisting in your child’s classroom however, it allows us to

monitor the process more closely. We currently have more

than 30 registered parents that help volunteer for school

activities.

Those who don’t have a WWCC are required to fill in a

Declaration for Volunteers and complete a 100 point check

at the office.

To register for a WWCC all you need to do is fill in a form

online at www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/check and then take

your proof of identity to your nearest Motor Registry, RMS

Agency or Service NSW office with your application number.

Your approval will be emailed to you within a few days. You

will need to print that out and bring it to the school office

with your date of birth written on it. A volunteer WWCC’s

are free of charge.

Swimming Carnival

Today our swimmers competed in our Swimming Carnival at

Waves Fitness and Aquatic centre. They travelled by bus and

returned to school by 12.30pm. Well done to all those who

competed. A contingent of swimmers will represent our

school at the Seven Hills/Wentworthville Zone Swimming

Carnival on Thursday 8 March at Blacktown Pool. Notes will

be sent home if they have qualified for Zone. All the best to

our successful swimmers.
