Parent Newsletter
A Newsletter is sent home to parents each
week. It contains reports on happenings throughout the
school and advises of forthcoming events. It regularly
includes a report from the P & C Association. It is
also available for download from the school’s web site but
you will require the correct name and password.
Notes to Parents
From time to time notes are sent home to
parents requesting a written reply in the form of a tear
off slip. Parents are asked to return such tear off slips
promptly.
Reporting to Parents
Parent/Teacher interviews to discuss the
progress of students will be conducted during Term 2 for K
- 6. The Department of Education and Training is currently
reviewing reporting processes and the school will inform
parents of the changes once they are finalised.
Parent/Teacher Interviews
Parents are encouraged to avail themselves
of the opportunity to meet their child's teacher. It gives
an avenue to discuss any problems in an atmosphere of
confidentiality and helps us to a better understanding of
your child.
Parents are also invited to make an appointment for an
additional Parent/ Teacher interview if they have any
reason to discuss a written report.
Sometimes problems arise which cause teachers to seek
interviews with parents, and vice versa, at a mutually
convenient time. Parents should not expect interviews
without an appointment except in serious matters of some
urgency.
Pupil Information
Each pupil in the school has on file details
that are important to your child's welfare in an emergency.
We need to be advised of changes of address, phone numbers
(home and business), health requirements and telephone
"contact" numbers.
Student Welfare
The school's welfare policy covers school
rules, the rights and responsibilities of each student as
well as discipline procedures. The aim of the policy is to
ensure a safe and happy learning environment for every
child. Corporal punishment is not a part of our school
discipline code. A copy of the policy is available at
school and is distributed to each family.
