Drink Bottles/

Bubblers

During this COVID-19

environment another reminder

for students to please bring a

drink bottle to school and to

refill from the chiller bubbler

and not use bubblers to have a

drink. We understand your

support and understanding

with this matter.

Dropping off and Picking Up Students

Thank you to the parents who are following our procedures for

entering the school. These procedures will remain in place for the

foreseeable future. When dropping off or picking your child up from

school, please just drop off at the gate and meet your child at the gate

at the end of the day. If you would like to talk to your child’s teacher,

please phone the office and a message will be given to the teacher to

return your call. This will support having less adults within the school

and will allow social distancing between adults to be adhered to. We

appreciate your ongoing support.

Enrolling Kindergarten for 2021

We are now accepting enrolments for Kindergarten 2021. Children

who turn 5 before 31st July 2021 are eligible for enrolment in

Kindergarten. Please present your child’s Birth Certificate,

Immunisation Record and evidence of your residential address at the

time of application.

If you would like to discuss readiness for school or any other matters

regarding enrolling your child please contact the school office. The

school will be conducting a pre enrolment/orientation meeting for

parents later in Term 3 to outline our kindergarten orientation

program which operates in Term 4. If you have a child that will be

commencing school or know of someone who does please contact the

school office.
