Principal’s Report Information evenings It was wonderful to see the many parents who attended information evenings last night. I thank you for taking the time to attend and to hear about your child’s learning programs for this year. Thanks also go to teachers, supervisors and P&C Executive members for their contributions to the evenings. The willingness of parents to volunteer to be class parents is also appreciated. Tomorrow night is for K-2 classes: Kindergarten Wednesday 13 February 5.30pm Hall Year 1 and 2 Wednesday 13 February 6.15 pm Hall Class Music Program Over the past two years we have used a company called Jellybeans Music to provide a specialist music teacher one day a week who delivers a structured series of lessons for eight weeks to each class. Following positive feedback from staff and students we are continuing with the program in 2019, commencing with Year 3 this term and then continuing with Kindergarten through to Year 4 over the year. The program teaches core curriculum concepts of pitch, rhythm, tone colour, structure, dynamics and reading and will engage students through singing, dancing, performing on instruments, creating and listening. Jellybeans provides all instruments including a class set of glockenspiels, untuned percussion and recorders. The program provides professional learning and digital resources for class teachers who participate in the lessons. This year we are asking parents to contribute to the program with a levy that will be included on your family statement. Assemblies In 2019 school assemblies will be held at the following times: K-2: each fortnight, in even school weeks on Thursdays from 1.40 – 2.15 pm Years 3-4: every week, on Wednesdays from 1.40 – 2.15 pm Years 5-6: every week, on Wednesdays from 2.15 – 2.50 pm Stewart House Clothing Appeal This week empty Stewart House bags will be sent home. We ask that you place in the bag any clothing that you may have at home that has been grown out of, or is no longer in use. The bags can be returned to the side entry of the school office as soon as possible, please, but no later than the morning of Thursday 28 February. For over forty years Stewart House and The Smith Family have worked together on the collection of good quality clothing from schools within New South Wales and the Australian

LANE COVE PUBLIC SCHOOL UNIFORM SHOP
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the school dress code? Please see the school website for further details http://www.lanecove-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/p-c-services/uniform-shop/uniform-requirements Who is responsible for the Uniform Shop? The Uniform shop is run as a sub-committee of the P&C. The limited profits made by the shop are re-invested in school programs for the benefit of the school community. A part-time paid manager is employed by the Committee who is responsible for daily shop operations along with additional help of volunteers. When is the shop open? The current hours for the shop are below. Please keep an eye out in The Loop newsletter for any changes. Opening Hours: TUES 2.30 - 3.30pm, WED 8.45 - 10.00am, THURS 8.30 - 9.30am How does the shop work on the days it is open? The Uniform Shop is not a self serve shop. We request that customers form a queue to be served by one of our volunteers. Our volunteers will serve customers and provide help with uniform needs and the Uniform Shop Manager assists with all till sales. We can at times get very busy and we thank our customers for their patience whilst waiting to be served. How can I sign up to volunteer in the Uniform Shop? We love our volunteers, in fact we rely on them to keep the shop open 3 days a week and welcome anyone who can spare some time to help. We advertise vacant shifts weekly in The Loop. If you could spare an hour or so, every week, once a month, once a term, once a semester or even only once a year, please email [email protected] If I cannot make it to school during opening hours, can I order uniform items? YES!! There are a few ways to order your uniform items.
The quickest and most convenient way to order all items is through your Munch Monitor account, School Shop.
You can also download the order form from the LCPS website, complete and email to [email protected]
Hard copies are located at the front office. Once filled out, give to front office staff who will pass it on to the Uniform Shop Manager for processing.
Please note we do not take orders over the phone. What is Munch Monitor and how do I order through it? Munch Monitor is like an online shop and can be used for Canteen orders and Uniform Shop orders. Setting up a Munch Monitor account is easy, just follow the below steps. To create a MunchMonitor account: 1. Go to www.munchmonitor.com 2. Username: lcps 3. Password: munch2066 4. Click Sign Up to create your own account Once registered, you can go into school shop and start shopping. Once I have ordered, how does my order get delivered? All orders are processed on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only and are placed in teachers pigeon holes. From here, the teachers will give students their orders or place them in their bag. We rely on teachers greatly to make this system work and thank them for helping provide this service.
What if I need something urgently? Apart from the Uniform Shop Manager, the Uniform Shop relies on volunteers to help keep the shop open and running and that orders are filled. We trust that opening 3 times a week and providing an online ordering system means all needs are met in a timely manner. If I order on a weekend, when can I expect my uniform items? Currently any orders made after 9am on a Thursday are processed the following Tuesday afternoon. We recognise that this is not providing a timely service to our school community due to some orders not getting home until the Wednesday. We want to provide a good service to our community and are therefore reviewing our system. In June, we are trialling a system where we will be asking volunteers to sign up for a shift on a Tuesday morning, 9am - 10am to help process any Munch Monitor orders. This shift will be purely for processing orders and will not be customer service based. We hope this will allow more volunteers to sign up and orders will get home quicker. The Uniform Shop will also trade from 2.30-3.30pm in June as part of this trial. What happens if what I have ordered isn't in stock? We try to ensure we always have stock of the essential uniform items but on occassions, we do run out. If this happens, we will process the order, deliver items we do have in stock and place remaining items on back order. We will notify you of this and if items will be out of stock for an extended period of time, we will keep you updated on delivery. What if an item is the wrong size? We are happy to exchange or refund items if the tags are still on and the product has not been worn. Please visit the shop during opening hours and bring original receipt as proof of purchase. Please note, we do not exchange or refund items bought more than six months before. How is lost property managed? The Uniform Shop is not responsible for lost property. Lost property relies on the school community to look out for lost items and return them to the lost property shelves. Lost property is located on the verandah
behind the Kit Kirkwood Hall/Canteen. A system called RagTagd was introduced to help reduce loss of property and the Uniform Shop was asked to provide uniform items that incorporated this system. What is RagTagd? RagTagd is a system that works by registering uniform items with a specific code through text messaging. This in turn provides the ability to notify owners by text message if lost items have been returned to Lost Property and scanned. The Uniform Shop provides some uniform items, such has hats and jackets, with this system to help return property to their rightful owners. The system only works if lost items have been taken back to the lost property shelves so the RagTagd scanner can read the codes of lost items and send text messages to owners. If an item is taken by someone else and they try to re-register that item, the original owner will receive a message to say someone has tried to re-register the item. This system relies on the school community to help each other by returning lost items to the lost property shelves and to be honest and not take items that do not belong to them. Do you sell second hand uniforms? YES!!! We like to provide second hand uniforms for resale and welcome donations of used uniforms that are in good condition. Donations can be dropped off at the shop during opening hours. Please be mindful that we prefer uniform items that are clean and wearable. Our second hand items are offered for sale in the shop, during shop hours and twice a year we run a second hand stall. Please remember to chose wisely as we cannot offer a refund or exchange on second hand items.
