Reminders

TheirCare

TheirCare is the school’s Before and After School Care provider. If you’d like your child to access Before or After School Care please register with the provider directly via their website (http://theircare.com.au/). We have a great coordinator and she has a fabulous program to engage all students. Contact phone number: 1300 072 410

Attendance

A friendly reminder to please log any absences on the Compass App. Whilst we appreciate parents communicating absences with teachers or staff, we do still require parents to add an absence note on Compass.  We would like to thank parents for their continued efforts to ensure their children’s absences are kept to a minimum and have a valid reason such as illness, medical appointments or family holidays. 

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club is on EVERY Tuesday morning from 8:40am. All children are welcome to come and have some breaky but we ask that children arrive before 8:45am if they are wishing to eat breakfast before the 9am start of the school day. 

Sun hats

A reminder that hats are now compulsory for both recess and lunch. Please ensure students bring their hats every day to stay sun-safe during outdoor activities. Thank you for your cooperation!
