Issue 4 Term 1 Week 4 19 February 2020

Good afternoon Parents, Carers and Friends of Greenwich Public School.

Come and See Greenwich Road

On Thursday afternoon between 5 & 7pm we are opening the Greenwich Road building to the parents and

carers and the public to come and see the new building and teaching spaces. We ask that you please

supervise your children if you are visiting, as staff are not able to supervise students at this time.

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to show you our beautiful new teaching facility and hope

you can join us.

Kingslangley Road Entry Change

Taylors have advised this coming Monday the school access all day will be via the park. Taylor will have

traffic control to inform all teachers and students on arrival.

This is due to some large structural steel deliveries which will take a large portion of the day to unload.

Students will need to enter the school through Henningham Park or River Road for the entire day. Our

apologies for the inconvenience but this needs to occur for safety reasons. Please contact the office if you

need to discuss the issue.

SRC Badging and Whole School Assembly

Our first whole school assembly will be held on Thursday March 5 at Greenwich Road campus. All students

K-6 will need to start the day at Greenwich Road on that day and students in Years 3-6 will walk back to

Kingslangley Road at the conclusion of the assembly.

Students who are our SRC representatives for 2020 will be given their badges at this assembly and parents

are invited to join us. A separate invitation will be sent.

Kingslangley Road Landscaping Consultation

Thank you to everyone who attended the landscaping discussion evening last week. My apologies for not

being able to be there but I am assured that the discussion was very productive.

Gates on Greenwich Road

We have three entrances on Greenwich Road Campus which all need to be locked during school time for

the safety of all students. Please understand that this is for security reasons. I am happy to discuss this at

any time. As our day is often unpredictable, please understand that we will endeavour to have the gates

open by 2:30 but there are times when we may be delayed. Your patience and understanding would be

greatly appreciated.

I request that the gates are closed at all times even as people move in and out, as we need to have the

school secure and ensure student safety at all times.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

I hope you have a wonderful week.
