Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers

Lots of activity happening at this time of the year with Parent Teacher Meetings, Year 6 Winter Sport, SSV Soccer, Susan McLean Cyber Safety Workshops, Athletics Carnival, Year 5 Excursion and 100 Days of Foundation just in the last week alone.

Events like these require lots of planning and support from families.  Thank you to our staff who put in the extra to make these events possible and to the families who volunteer and attend the events.  It was wonderful to have so many parents take the time to meet with their children's teachers to discuss their progress so far this year.  And also attend the Parent Workshop with Cyber Safety Expert Susan McLean, she provided so very valuable information for all.

Road Safety

We have been asked by the crossing supervisors to remind students to make sure they wait for the school crossing supervisors to blow their whistles before walking in front of the stopped vehicles. At the Princes Hwy Crossing some are walking past the school crossing supervisors before the green signal is illuminated. It is also advisable that they cross where the school crossing supervisors are, instead of on the opposite side of the intersection, for their own safety.

We also remind you to ensure the pedestrian crossings are used with the school grounds and vehicles travelk at a safe speed.

Attendance Matters
Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Students learn new things at school every day. Attending and participating in school -will help your child develop:
-important skills and knowledge to help them learn
-social and emotional skills such as good communication, resilience and teamwork
Children who attend school every day and complete year 12 have:
-better health
-better job opportunities
-higher income across their lives.
Every minute matters
Being just 10 minutes late every day adds up to nearly half a year of lost schooling over the 13 years journey from Prep to Year 12.
