BACK IN SYNC

We write to parents again so as to get our communication channel back in sync. Newsletters are normally sent out on the odd weeks so there is the second in a row. COVID sent us a little skewiff but look out for the newsletter every odd week of term.

VALET PICKUP REMINDERS

We have had some feedback regarding our Valet pick up in the afternoons. So this is timeley to remind parents about the need to think of everyone around you. Some things to remember:

• be mindful of the pedestrians in the area especially children who might not be with their parents/carers
• be mindful not to stop across residents' driveways
• do not double park and leave your car to pick up your children at the top gate and walk back to your car.
• be mindful of any congestion around the church car park
• do not pull out of the line until the car in front of you moves away.

So, please be mindful of others during this time.

WINTER UNIFORM

We officially move into our winter uniform from next week. Please do not mix and match.

All children should be wearing a tie and girls should have a belt for their tunics. The school jumper is a knitted navy woollen one and/or the school jacket with the school crest. Girls should have white socks or blue tights. Girls may wear long navy trousers as an alternative to the tunic. 

NAPLAN 2022 REMINDER

Students in Years 3 and 5 will sit the exams between Tuesday 10th May – Friday 20th May.

HEADPHONES

All NAPLAN tests will be online, except Year 3 Writing. Students will be required to use headphones to listen and answer questions. Please ensure your child has a set of earbuds or ‘over the head’ headphones to keep at school during this period. No Bluetooth or wireless headphones. Please label and send to school by Friday 6 May.

What can I do to support my child?

All students have been preparing at school and are familiar with the types of questions and what to expect. Students are not expected to study for NAPLAN.

Excessive preparation or even discussions about NAPLAN could create unnecessary anxiety. You can support your child by reassuring them that NAPLAN is only one part of their school program.
