The cold weather is suddenly upon us. Most students are looking wonderful in their winter uniform. We still have a good range of second-hand items to purchase from the clothing pool if your child needs something.

Please ensure your child brings a jumper and even a coat to school as we do utilise the outdoor playground unless it is particularly cold, windy or wet. Beanies and gloves should be in school colours. We sell school beanies via the uniform shop. We also have navy gloves and some jackets available.

Although we encourage navy or maroon coats or jackets, we understand that it is often difficult to find them. We will accept that other colours may be worn. Darker colours tend to be more suitable for children at school.

Please ensure everything is labelled with your child’s or family name.

Morning arrivals. 

• A reminder that our morning duty begins at 8.30am. There is no supervision before this time. YMCA offer before-school care. Please contact them if you have a need for care before 8.30am. 
• If it is particularly cold, windy or wet we will supervise the children in the hall between 8.30 and 8.55am and hold our morning assembly in there before moving to classrooms. 
• If your child arrives late (after the 8:55am bell) parents and carers are legally required to take their child/ren to the Front Office to be signed in electronically by staff. Teachers find that if a child arrives before the 8:55am bell, it often help them to transition from home to school more easily.
• For the safety and care of your child please do not drop your child along Murphy St or into the Kinder Courtyard after 8.55am as these areas have no supervision at that time. There are different arrangements for classes from day to day and your child could potentially be outside and alone without an adult. If you are running late, you must enter via the office to sign your child in.
