Urgent Reminders
Due to COVID 19 restrictions please take note of the
following important information:
Parents/carers are asked to please not go to the
classrooms. Staff will bring children up to the office.
It is important that any students who arrive late or
depart early must be signed in and out at the office
with a parent or carer.
To minimise risks and to keep the children safe during
this difficult time please keep visits to the school to a bare
minimum unless essential.
Follow the health advice and keep your child/children
at home if they are unwell. Please inform the office if
they are not well.
Student Absences
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents
and carers that if your child is absent from school there is
a requirement for you to provide a reasonable
explanation for the absence within seven days. It is the
Principal’s discretion as to whether they deem an
explanation as reasonable. If an explanation is not
received the students’ absence will automatically be
recorded as unjustified.
Absences include late arrivals and early departures to and
from school and also require an explanation.
Absence notification methods that are acceptable are via
the School Stream App, verbal (telephone or in person),
email, or written.
If your child is absent because of illness for more than
three consecutive days, you will be required to provide a
medical certificate with your absence notification.
At times there may be a requirement for your children to
be absent for extended periods of time. If this is the case
you will need to contact the principal and complete an
application for extended leave prior to the leave being
taken. It is the principal’s discretion whether this
application will be approved or declined.
Thank you
The students had a fabulous start to this chilly week. They
enjoyed hot cups of Milo at lunch time on Monday and
Tuesday. To top it all off, they celebrated our wonderful
Miss Tilly’s birthday yesterday. There was much excitement
and laughter to be heard around the school.
Thank you so much to the Walsh and Meier families for
your generous contribution.
