“Our School...Your Children...Their Future”

Dear Parents & Carers,

I would like to give a few reminders to support the great running of our school:

Please do not bring animals onto school

grounds unless permission from the class-

room teacher has already been organised.

This includes those special times when

children would like to give class news to

their peers.

Thank you to parents and carers who are

waiting for their children each afternoon

near the Heritage Garden. Waiting directly

outside classrooms can become a distraction

to your children.

Children should not be arriving at school

before 8.50am, unless they catch an early

bus. I am noticing an increasing number of

students who walk to school or are dropped

off by relatives arriving well before this time.

I would appreciate your support in making

arrangements to ensure your child/ren do

not arrive before 8.50am when staff

supervision formally commences. Exceptions

to this are early bus arrivals, band students

on their respective rehearsal days and

children who are attending EOOSH.

Vehicles on school grounds. In light of the

recent tragedy at Banksia Road Public

School, parents and carers are reminded

that there is no vehicle access to the school

grounds with the exception of those

authorised to use the disabled car park.

Caring is giving love and attention to people and things that matter to you.

It is doing things to help others.
