24.01.2022 CAMP BUS UPDATE We’re on our way! We’re hoping to arrive at school by 3:15pm, a little earlier than scheduled. We will update again when we’re closer

24.01.2022 Kindergarten 2021 commences tomorrow. It will be a slightly shorter day with Kindergarten students starting at 9:30 am and finishing at 3:00 pm. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions only one parent can bring their child to the Kindergarten classrooms. The classrooms will be open from 9:20 am onwards. Any parent entering the school grounds will need to scan the Service NSW QR Code and show a teacher at the gate before entering. The children have all been allocated eithe...r the front or back gate for end of school dismissal time and we will walk the children to their allocated gate at the end of the day to meet you. (If you are unsure please check with the teachers on the gate in the morning or ring the school office). One parent will be able to enter the school each morning for this week only to drop their Kindergarten child off at the classroom door. The classrooms on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be open from 9:05 am and we ask that you drop your child and leave the school promptly. This will not be a time to discuss how your child is settling in, however, if you wish to have a conversation with a teacher please phone the office and a teacher will ring you back after school. Alternatively, there will be teachers at the gate if you would like to drop your child and go.
