Dear
Parents & Caregivers,
All the staff of

and caring shown by one of the office staff to a child who was upset. Our admin
staff constantly goes the extra mile to ensure that
MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
This week is a
special chance to recognise the vital contribution that school administrative
and support staff make to schools, not just to their smooth running and
presentation, but to the mighty job of preparing children to make their way in the
world and influence it for good.
With my
best regards on behalf of all my executive colleagues,

Today we welcomed our new Kindies
for 2010. Our current Kindies did a magnificent job
show casing what they have achieved in their first year. Congratulations to Somya (KD) and Thomas (KMC) who led the assembly. Our Year 5 students were excited to
meet their buddies for next year. This fantastic program develops leadership
skills in our Year 5 students, as well as making a valuable connection for our
new Kindies. Parents
were able to participate in a tour of the school and enjoy morning tea.

STUDENT LATENESS
The
Home School Liaison Officer (HSLO) regularly monitors the school attendance
rolls. We need to bring the following to the attention of all parents.
·
School hours are 9am to 3pm. Students MUST attend during these hours.
·
If a student is late, the reason must be justified. Sleeping-in is
NOT a justifiable reason.
·
If a student is late they must have a note to explain the
lateness. Students who present at the office without a note, or without a
parent to sign them in, will have their lateness marked as “unjustified”.
·
A note must be supplied on the day the student returns to school
after an absence. Failure to do so may have the absence recorded as
unjustified.
·
If there is a pattern of absences that have not been justified,
the HSLO may be required to investigate. Legal proceedings can be an outcome of
poor attendance.
