22.01.2022 Wet Weather! We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for our first day at school. Our plans have changed a little as the weather forecast for Friday is for rain. Students in Years 1-6 will move straight into classrooms when they arrive at school. Teachers will be available to assist. Year 1 and 2 parents may continue to come into school tomorrow through the front gate. To stay dry, please come and ‘kiss and drop’ your students under the administration awning. Stud...ents will then proceed to classrooms. Kindergarten parents may walk students straight to class from 9:25am. Our Kindergarten teachers will meet you at the classrooms. Once again, teachers will be available to assist you in navigating our school site. We can’t wait to see you! Stay dry :) See more

We played some games, read the story Alpacas with maracas ...and saw how the new classrooms were coming along. Ashtonfield Public School would like to congratulate these amazing children on their positive attitude and thank all parents for their cooperation in making this experience a success. We are so excited for 2021.

21.01.2022 Today 3-6 students attended the Kadoo incursion as part of our NAIDOC celebrations. Students took part in an ochre ceremony acknowledging ‘Mother Earth’ and listened to how the First Australians were caretakers of ‘Mother Earth’ They also listened to a presentation that explored the origins of man, the existence of giants, the Bigfoot and Australian Yowies, Indigenous place and country and how they connected to the land. Students had the opportunity to handle Indigenous tools, weapons, skins, bones, shells and how they were used. It was a fantastic experience which was informative and engaging. Students were enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoyed their time.

21.01.2022 Sooty comes to school. Miss Staniland's dog Sooty visited 4/5M today. The students in 4/5M were amazing at helping Sooty follow the school values and expectations. Sooty enjoyed learning how to spell and put together nets to make some 3D objects. We hope to see Sooty again.

All parents and visitors will need to complete a QR code upon entering the school grounds. Entry for parents is through the front, main gate. In addition, a temporary gate has been installed midway along Norfolk Street to support student access to the school during mornings and afternoons whilst the school upgrade continues. Students who ride bikes will need to enter and exit via this gate. School staff will support these changes at each gate entry. PICK UP- Teachers will walk Kindergarten students to the front gate at 2:30pm and hand students over to parents waiting outside. All other year groups will follow the procedures from last year. Classes will be formed once enrolment numbers have been confirmed, students will begin on Friday in their 2020 class formation.
