School Donation
There is a voluntary school donation. This is set by the Board of
Trustees and is currently $20 per child per term, or $50 per term, per family of 3 or more. Your donations are used to subsidise some school trips and other activities, and to subsidise the purchase of extra equipment and materials for school activities and events. These are tax deductible. Donations can be paid in instalments, lump sum, or made by automatic payments through your bank.

Absences from School
It is school policy to check any unexplained absences, so please notify us if your child is going to be away from school by calling the school absence line. Please notify Robyn in the office if, for any reason, your child is going to be late or will need to leave school early. If your child is to be away at a future date, Robyn also needs to know this.

Leaving the School Grounds
Children will be permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours ONLY when written requests are received from parents. Parents/students must fill in the “Log Out” book if a child leaves during the school day.
Where children are going home for lunch on a daily basis, a note at the beginning of each term is all that is required.
|
Discipline
As a school, our focus is on ‘self-discipline’. We aim to help children to grow towards an awareness and acceptance of responsibility for their own actions.
School rules, and the steps for dealing with breaches of these rules, are set out in our Behaviour Management Plan. Copies of this plan are available from the school office during normal school hours.
|
Stationery
A list of stationery needed at each class level is sent home at the end of the school year, or when your child commences school. A limited amount of stationery is also available for purchase from the school office.
|
Valuable Items
We discourage children from bringing valuable items (such as games, toys or jewellery) to school as there is always the risk of them being lost. Staff cannot accept responsibility for valuable property at school.
|
|
Assemblies
These are held every Friday at 2.20pm and 2.30pm alternatively.
The 2.20pm assemblies are held to: share children’s work, sing, hand out awards.
The 2.30pm assemblies are held to: sing and meet as a school.
Our assemblies are an important time for our school community to join together in an atmosphere of togetherness and celebration. You are
always welcome to join us.
|
Money
Any money coming into the school needs to be put into an envelope, clearly labelled with the child’s name, room number and what it is for. The envelope is then placed in the class money bucket, for checking by staff.
|
New Entrant DVD
We offer all beginning students (New Entrants) the chance to have their first days filmed. This is done by Year 6 students as part of their extension programme. The film is then edited into a 5 minute long movie that is given to the parents on a DVD. We believe it is a great way to give our older students valuable Information Technology skills and at the same time offer parents a record of what is a significant moment in a child's life. There is a small cost of $10 and the whole concept is optional. You will be asked if you want your child to be involved.
