From The Acting Principal:

Hello Everyone

We have had a lovely start to Week 2 with our ‘Welcome BBQ” on Tuesday night. Thank you to all the families that came for a chat and a sausage… It was lovely to meet you all. Thank you also to all the staff who organised the evening. We are very lucky to have

such an amazing and dedicated staff.

This week I had a lovely visit from the Transition Class

with some wonderful work. Well done to you all.

We have our senior students heading off to Broadwater Sugar Mill on Friday and we look forward to hearing all about it.

Smart Start also starts on Friday and we will be having an information session and morning tea for all the parents/carers at 9:30 am in the Ngooreeny Room. We are also looking forward to seeing all our new families.

Our Calendar is in the process of being finalised and Term 4 looks like it’s going to be a Busy and exciting term

Please feel free to pop in for a chat if you are in the school

Kind Regards

Lyn Parker.

Attendance ReminderEducation in New South Wales is compulsory for all children between the ages of six years and below the minimum school leaving age. The Education Act 1990 requires that parents ensure their children of compulsory school age are enrolled at, and regularly attend school, or, are registered with the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards for homeschooling.

Once enrolled, children are required to attend school each day it is open for students.

What if my child has to be away from school?

On occasion, your child may need to be absent from school. Justified reasons for student absences may include:

• being sick, or having an infectious disease • having an unavoidable medical appointment • being required to attend a recognised religious holiday • exceptional or urgent family circumstance (e.g. attending a funeral)

Following an absence from school you must ensure that within 7 days you provide your child’s school with a verbal or written explanation for the absence. However, if the school has not received an explanation from you within 2 days, the school may contact you to discuss the absence.
