24.01.2022 Warrane School Carpark Firstly, thank you to each and every parent/carer during the drop-off and pick-up times. Your patience and cooperation has been amazing. As there is a large volume of cars entering and leaving the carpark during those times, to keep the traffic flowing, please park in a vacant spot and do not double park if you need to wait for your child.... Just a gentle reminder also to parents/carers to keep the disabled parking spaces free. We do have parents who need to use those spots. Thanks again for your consideration and support!!

24.01.2022 GREAT TOMATO PLANT GIVE AWAY Drop into the garden today at 2:30 and pick up some plants to boost your summer garden.

23.01.2022 A big THANK YOU to our Warrane Primary School community. We understand that it was a different drop off this morning but it all went smoothly. It was great to see so many happy and smiling faces around the school. Thank you for all of your support

23.01.2022 Bunnings Mornington Warehouse has generously supported Warrane Primary School with a School Sports Pack. Bunnings has a strong commitment to community involvement, and as such has provided 1 x Bunnings Rugby Ball, Netball and Basketball, 2 x Bunnings Soccer and AFL Balls and 5 x Bunnings Tennis Balls, which will be a valuable contribution to PE lessons and outside play. We would like to thank Bunnings Mornington for this very generous and much appreciated donation.

21.01.2022 School Lunch Project Information for Parent Discussion Group A letter was sent home on Thursday, 29 October 2020 inviting parents/guardians whose children have been having hot lunches made by the school canteen staff, to participate in a Parent Discussion Group. Participation is voluntary, however, this feedback (which is confidential and will not impact on your child’s participation of the program) will be valuable in understanding the impact the lunch program has had on s...tudents and parents/guardians. Everything that is said during the discuss will be audio-recorded, but will remain confidential and will not be spoken about outside of this group. The school rules around social distancing for COVID-19 will be followed and a $10 canteen voucher will be provided as a thank you for your participation. The Group Discussion will take place at the school on Thursday, 5th November during drop off and pick up. The project team includes: Laura Cini, Julie Dunbabin and Tina Ingram from the Tasmanian School Canteen Association, Dr Kylie Smith from Menzies Research Institute, University of Tasmania and Claire Galloway and Natasha Meerding from Public Health Serv ices, Department of Health. Please call into the office or contact on 6244 1747 to register your interest to participate and fill in a consent form. Please consider taking part in this Parent Discussion Group. The session will take about 10-15 minutes only. Your comments, positive or negative will be valuable in moving forward with the project

21.01.2022 Hats for Homeless Just a reminder that tomorrow (6 August) is hats for homeless!

21.01.2022 Judging well under way in the grade 6 curry challenge.

21.01.2022 Dear Parents / Guardians The following letter has been received from Rob Greenwood, Senior Music Programs Officer: Combined Primary Schools Band Program... Cancellation of Annual Year 6 Band Tours I am writing to inform you that sadly, due to the ongoing restrictions around social distancing this year’s planned Year 6 Band Tours will be cancelled. The Tours were planned for August but, unfortunately, without the possibility of rehearsing each band at the after school rehearsals we just can’t prepare for this online. I certainly would not want to put the conductors, students and teachers involved under any unnecessary pressure by running the Tours and, as always, we’d want the Band Tour performances to be a very positive experience for all. Being underprepared would be a pretty negative experience for everyone. Following the Guidelines of the Tasmanian State Government’s COVID-19 Roadmap in regard to social distancing restrictions being eased by 13 July to between 50-100 people at indoor and outdoor gatherings as well as day trips and camping allowed for school groups we will also need to cancel all after school rehearsals up to at least this date. I will keep you informed as to when our after school band rehearsals can commence. Once again I would like to thank you all for your wonderful and continued support of the Combined Primary Schools Band Program especially during the challenging times we are currently facing. Thank you all so much for your understanding. Kind regards Rob Greenwood Senior Music Programs Officer

08.01.2022 MONDAY 25TH MAY - Parent/Carer drop off and pick ups. A few changes have been put in place for drop off and picking up your child(ren). All of these changes have been put in place to keep staff and students safe and healthy. These changes will come into effect on Monday the 25th of May. We understand that this may cause some children to feel anxious or unsure. If this is the case, please walk to the staff posted at the carpark gate and we will come to a solution together.... Mornings: Drop off All families are to use the parent carpark (unless other arrangements have been formally made) to drop off your child. You can either stay in the car and your child can walk into school OR you can walk them to the carpark gate. Afternoons: Pick up All classes will be waiting inside the school grounds near the carpark gate. Once the child or teacher sights their car, they may walk out to the carpark OR once the parent has been sighted outside the gates, the child may walk out to meet them. If you child(ren) walk home, they can continue to do this using the closest school exit. We do ask that all adults who are dropping off and picking up to practice social distancing at all times throughout this challenging time for all.
