Tournament of the Minds

We wish 21 students all the best as they participate in the TOMs competition this weekend. It’s been a busy 6 weeks of preparation, with research, creativity and teamwork skills all being developed quickly.

Wet Weather Arrangements

Morning

• If it is quite wet or actually raining in the morning, please drop your child to the hall from 8.30am.
• Children will put their bags in their class line, then join in quiet games or conversations with their friends. 
• We will have the morning assembly in the hall.

If your child is anxious with this change, please bring them up to the teacher on duty. We make alternative arrangements if the noisy hall overwhelms a child.

Afternoon

Please discuss your family plans with your child, so that they are aware of wet weather arrangements. We ask families to take extra care in the rain. Don’t rush, we will keep your child dry and safe with us until you arrive!

• If the ground is wet, normal arrangements apply. 
• If it is actually raining the following safety arrangements will be in place. 

Drive-through - students line up in the hall with the duty teacher. We will assist your child to the car as you pull into pick-up points 1-3.

Murphy St - students will meet the teacher in the shelter of the kinder courtyard. An extra teacher wearing an orange vest, will be outside the courtyard gate further up the hill than the normal black gates. Parents can pull up to the kerb and we will help your child to come to your car. If you wish to park, please do so below the normal black gates to keep the area outside the courtyard as a quick ‘drive-through’ only.

Walkers/bus/bikes will operate as normal, with the teacher carrying an umbrella.

Parking - parents are invited to park and come to the kinder courtyard or awnings around the front of the school as normal. Please do not park and leave your car alongside the kindergarten kerb on Murphy St, as this is the wet-weather pickup area.

Thanks for your cooperation and respect for the safety of all.

Yours in working together
